Back in 1998, this 2U rackmount gem debuted as Waldorf's answer to giving digital synths some serious analog grit, processing stereo signals or dual mono sources with a filter and VCA that could overdrive for that extra punch.
It's a fully programmable analog module packing one multimode filter per channel, a single envelope, and LFO for modulation, all controllable via MIDI, CV/Gate, or even ACM for seamless integration into modular setups or DAWs. Stereo audio inputs feed into an overdrive-capable stage before hitting the filter/VCA, with 99 patch memories to store your edits. The front panel offers hands-on knobs for cutoff, resonance, envelope amount, LFO rate, and more, making it intuitive for live tweaks or studio experimentation on drums, synths, guitars, or post-production.
Over the years, owners have praised its versatility on loops and instruments, calling it a rare powerhouse that's held up beautifully in racks, though its discontinued status makes finding one a treasure hunt.
