Hi This listing is for my Mutronics Mutator…With only 1000 of these ever built, this unit is very rare and very sought after..its the king of analogue filtering and this ones in great shape! the unit has been sat dormant in a studio rack for 10 years and wants to be played with again.. lol Thanks…and good luck.Most likely the best stand-alone rack mount stereo (two channel) filter, modulation and envelope follower unit. It has two great resonant filters with cutoff, envelope follower, and an LFO with 4 waveform types that can be linked or inverted. The Mutator is truly a great dance music machine. Run loops, synths, voice or entire mixes through this and filter them in stereo or dual mono. It sounds great!The two filters are identical and totally independent of each other. The circuitry is analog too. The VCF (filters) have their own envelopes and there is a useful LFO for nice sweeping or pulsing effects. The LFO can also be MIDI synced to your music (it’s a little tricky though).There is a great implementation of MIDI control on the Mutator. Control the filter cutoff from your sequencer by hitting notes on the keyboard. That’s it, the notes on your keyboard and the pitch-bend correspond to the different degrees of cutoff. There is no patch memory, but that’s ok. The Mutator is a machine that’s meant to be grabbed and played with live while either going to tape or live on stage. Filtering music for an effect has become very common these days and the Mutator is among the best machines for achieving this effect. It is THE SOUND used by Daft Punk and has also been used byFatboy Slim, Future Sound of London, Depeche Mode, and Radiohead.The Mutator is a stereo analogue filter and envelope follower with full control facilities. It contains two independent voltage controlled filters similar to those found in analogue synthesizers, which can be used to treat any external sound source. Each filter can be controlled from its own associated low frequency oscillator (LFO) and/or its own envelope follower section, which extracts the envelope contour of an input signal and applies it to control the cut-off frequency of the filter.Each envelope follower can be switched to track either the envelope of the sound that is being treated by the filter, or that of an independent external control signal. This external control signal can be any audio source , eg. a drum sound, a guitar, a synth, a sampler output, or even a microphone. Thus the envelope characteristics of one sound can be superimposed onto the filtering contour of another.Another switch on the envelope follower selects envelope follow mode or gate mode – in which the circuit detects whether a signal is above a certain threshold level before switching on.In gate mode, the device can operate much like a dedicated noise gate unit, with the added capabilities of the analogue filterThe LFO’s have four different sweep waveforms each and may be switched via a stereo link to produce stereo panning effects.
