ADDAC601 – 8 BAND VC FIXED FILTERBANK

VCOscillator · Post by **VCOscillator** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:04 am

That silverface looks awesome. I am contemplating contacting Addac and asking to buy a silverfaceplate seperately for my recently purchased redface but I kind of like the red.

All my other modules have silver faceplates so it stands out nicely. Amnesia if you get a chance could I see a wider pic of how the silverface looks as part of your system please?

Gah, I hovered over the 'buy' button too long and now the 601 is sold out at both schneiders and post modular. The still have them at rubadub but the price is Ã‚Â£60 more, any ideas when a new batch can be expected?

Just got two of these. Sounds REALLY good

Did you try already a "vocoder" style patch?
One 601 to analyse a signal and the second to process another.
I only own 1 601, and will not get a second just to try this out. But i think this ptach could be fun.

I had 2 601s and tried the vocoder patch. It sounds good, but the freqs of the bands bands are not optimized for classic vocoder applications.

Works really great with drumloops, though.

That it will not sound like a vocoder was to be expected. It has limited number of bands as well. What sounded interesting was putting using a Shepard generator on all the bands and run a drone though it. I could kick myself for having sold the A191...

It sounds good on drums, but i prefer using ResEQ on them.
However i can't stop putting the 601 after a 101 or 111 wav player. To give the aliasing the a nice color

Great job ! ParabÃƒÂ©ns ! Your videos look as professional as your modules.

I just read the User's Guide and couldn't find which 8 fixed frequencies were chosen, could you send me a link where I can get this information por favor ?

The frequencies are listed on the page (see "features"):

Thanks. Is there any way to change them ? Some trimmer on the PCB or something of the kind ?

I think I read somewhere that you can request custom ones when you order a 601. Don't really remember where I read that though...

Just picked up one of these at Control in Brooklyn today after playing
with it for like 10 minutes. Nice! Great to have an Andre creation in the house!!

Addac should make a modulation source for this awesome module.

Post by **Paranormal Patroler** » Thu Jul 03, 2014 1:50 pm

ADDAC already has the coolest modulation sources.

mono-poly · Post by **mono-poly** » Thu Jul 03, 2014 2:06 pm

Well something to modulate the 8 bands.
Like the morph function on the 296e.

Post by **Paranormal Patroler** » Thu Jul 03, 2014 2:07 pm

Get the Complex Random and a JAG and you're set for modulation sources!

Like opsysbug, I just got a new 601 from Control, and I am sorry to report that it is acting very oddly, and I hope maybe y'all can help.

Mostly the problem is that the band knobs don't do anything, either to the wet/mix outs or to the individual outs; nor does CV modulation (haven't tried the env followers). Or sometimes the top row does, but oddly, sounding more like a weird, jumpy filter sweep than a boost/cut of a particular band (this is true of the input volume knob as well). When a band's attentuation knob does work, then so does its CV jack, but also oddly, e.g. affecting the whole row. (I do know that the bands aren't completely independent, but this is much more extreme.) The switches do work as they're supposed to though.

What could cause this?? Is it not getting enough power? (If so, I can't see why; nor is it bumping up against a neighboring module either.) Is there a jumper on the back I have to switch from "acts oddly" to "works properly"?

I will probably take it back (where it will no doubt act perfectly normally, making me look foolish), but if anyone has seen this and/or knows what to do that would be great. I really want to like this module, as it seems poised to take over my entire rig (figuratively speaking)!

duck1887 Sounds like you have a faulty module or some power issues... got mine a month ago and it is everything I ever wanted from a filterbank.. (and yes I've tried the Buchla version and it has some more features

) just send addac an email and ask for support or go back to Control and get it sorted.

plus the 501B expander for slew and gates out!.. I had no idea it slewed the outputs of the main unit I thought it only worked for the expansion... anyways, indeed a great companion to the 601, I currently run a patch where a MI Frames modulates the 601 and I find that to be a great match too.. so many options with all these modules..

Thanks Summa, will do. I did put it in a different case with different power and it did the same thing

This is even keeping me from patching, as all I can think when I try is how cool it would be to use the 601! When all is well I will definitely be

Yeah, I've been meaning to get one of those but I always spend my money on MIDI stuff.

Big thanks to Andre & Co. for hooking me up with a silver 601 panel. Looks fantastic. Really loving the Filterbank.

@ ADDAC

Do you have any 601 in stock atm? if not when?

Dave77 · Post by **Dave77** » Sun Oct 12, 2014 8:42 am

Ciao Hirsbro
i Ordered directly from ADDAC

For anybody experiencing problems, I just discovered that the power connector on mine is inserted backwards. Compared notes with a buddy and it is definitely assembled incorrectly

Message in to the manufacturer. Hope they are responsive.
