Behringer Surges "Liquid" Multimode Filter Eurorack Module

The beauty of Eurorack synthesis is in the limitless capacity to build and endlessly reiterate and refine a custom instrument that’s tailored to your studio and stage demands. Filtering is essential to sculpting your sonic array, and the Behringer Surges module offers a smorgasbord of all-analog sound shaping that won’t compromise precious real estate in your rack. At a mere 8HP, Surges is a triumvirate of multimode filtering, impressing Music Bliss synth scholars with its flexibility and liquid-smooth timbral contouring. Output options for low, high, and bandpass filters form the foundation of this module’s menagerie of musicality while further sculpting opportunities abound. Setting for 2- and 4-pole operation lets you instantly toggle between each mode, giving you greater control over the nuances of its band- and lowpass filtering. Meanwhile, the CV-controllable Resonance and Cutoff parameters amplify Surges’ interoperative potential as you carve your sound out of its formidable 18Hz to 18kHz frequency range, with additional CV control over the lowpass filter’s gain ensures everything moves precisely as needed. Plus, dual audio inputs dovetail into Input 1’s dedicated gain control, allowing you to push into full overdrive as the signals of both inputs are summed together. Surges’ most-valuable contribution to your Euroack array, however, is arguably in its distinguished outputs — all three post-filter signals can be outputted simultaneously, for totally distinct routing options!

FEATURES

• 8HP VCF module brings a trio of multifunctional filtering to your Eurorack array
  
• All-analog circuitry channels classic designs for iconic “liquid”-like sonic textures
  
• Multimode filter design produces three simultaneous outputs for low, high, and bandpass filters, supporting immense modularity and sound design
  
• Voltage-controllable Resonance, Frequency, and LPF-gain values ensure extensive interoperative possibilities
  
• Dual audio inputs sum to output, with CV-controlled Audio 1 gain-level to produce complex filtering textures and rich, analog overdrive
  
• Switchable 2- and 4-pole filter modes let you instantly toggle alternative filter slopes to reinforce low and bandpass outputs
