Model 13 Mini • Vactrol LPG
Electro-Acoustic Research has re-released a limited quantity, single-gate 4HP adaptation of the Plan B Model 13 Timbral Gate. The M13 Mini is a faithful reproduction of the legendary Buchla 292 Low Pass Gate with additional circuitry to improve the bleed associated with VTL5C3 LPGs in the amplified Eurorack environment. Unlike the original Timbral Gate, the Mini has only two operating modes - Low Pass and Combo (VCA and Low Pass Mode combined), with the VCA mode omitted. The M13 Mini was originally produced as a one-off for the Toolbox Modular Synthesizer used by Danny Carey on Tool performances. Also available as a kit. Release: Dec 2022. Click here for details
Model 41 • Steiner 4P Filter
The all new Model 41 marks a collaboration between Peter Grenader and Nyle Steiner. Able to generate a timbral and temporal pallet ranging from kitten purr to bad-hair-day Godzilla, the Model 41 is built around an unreleased, second generation Synthasystem filter core, originally designed for the Steiner EVI. The M41 boasts a three-mode (LP, BP. HP) four pole, 24dB/oct Sallen and Key engine – coupled with three switchable rip your face off distortion modes unique to this filter. Click here for details.
