High and Low Pass Filter Set with Saturation
for Chroma, Mister Focus, & DIYRE Colour

 

Overview

If you are recording digitally and seeking mix-ready analog tones, then this handy module is one that belongs in your tool box.  SUPER FILTER combines a musical set of high and low pass filters with a meticulously tweaked multi-stage saturation circuit designed to get you "there" faster - at the press of a button.

Inspired By the Best of Tape

Analog tape allows us to achieve a smooth top end, and huge and punchy bottom end just by virtue of hitting the record button.  However, this pleasing playback is the result of four sonic ingredients that are unfortunately missing from our DAWs:

  1. a natural subsonic roll-off that tightens up the bottom end
  2. tape head bump in the 30-70 Hz range that enhances the size of drums and bass
  3. soft transient clipping that adds density and volume
  4. even and odd order harmonics generated by the record and playback process that yields a euphonic richness

SUPER FILTER checks the boxes for all four missing ingredients.

What is Colour 

INTRODUCING COLOUR

MODULAR MOJO

Colour is an exciting new modular platform for creating your own custom analog signal chains. The ever-growing family of modules allows you to bring multiple stages of high end analog processing to your setup a la carte.

The Colour platform consists of Colours and hosts. Colours are ultra-compact, swappable analog circuit blocks that snap into the host, and impart various types of analog color such as distortion, saturation, compression, EQ, and even echo.

COLOUR HOSTS

Proucts like Silver Bullet mk2ChromaChroma+, or Mister Focus can all host Colour modules. The host device provides level controls, power, and support circuitry for one or two Colour modules.

C-DRV knob simultaneously allows you to adjust the amount of input gain and output attenuation for intuitive level control.

C-MIX knob allow you to blend the smoothly dry and processed signals.

Colour modules can also be used various rackmount and 500 series gear from other manufacturers like DIY Recording Equipment.

NERDY DETAILS

Colour Modules are compatible with Silver Bullet m2, Chroma 500 Series, Chroma+, and Mister Focus products.

They are also compatible with host products from DIY Recording Equipment.

We chose every component in our Colour modules by ear for maximum mojo and its sonic synergy with the rest of the circuit.  Our meticulous development process involved both empirical measurement and real-world studio use to validate the design.  We also leveraged what we learned designing and building our other products. In this design you will find high end parts from Nichicon, Panasonic, Vishay, Susumu, Wima, and TI.  All audio path resistors are 0.5% or 0.1% thin film types for low distortion and noise.  Where applicable, some modules features custom American wound transformers and our very own discrete op amp.  Our PCBs use high temperature Tg 170 material for long-term reliability.  The entire assembly is RoHS compliant (lead free).
