Just got my JP8 filter and it sounds absolutely amazing!!

The jp6 sounds great as well. It's nice to have these options for eurorack!

I finished my DIY AM8023 a couple of weeks ago and it's a damned fine piece of work... I'm really looking forward to more of your modules.

i just stumbled over the AM8164 Module - Dual Linear/Expo VCA ... seems to be an old frac rack project? will there be a eurorack version or DIY kit? that would be great... i'm still looking for a good vca...

How well do the JP filters track? I didn't see anything in the manuals about scaling, and I'm curious about how close they come to 1V/octave.

Thanks Rob

Many thanks for clearing this up, Rob. Sounds like it's going to be a great module.

I'd love to see your take on an oscillator module actually.

Nice to see more interesting filters for euro. Already have a Jupiter but the Roland SH and ARP stuff looks interesting. Looking forward to seeing more demos.

The SH-3 additive oscillator would be amazing.

CS80 filter would be sweet!

My SH3-a interfaced so nicely with the modular as it's modded for cv/gate in/out. Shame it's busted, need to get it repaired :(

Oooh. I might have to get mine modded.

for you 5U builders, rob sold me an uncalibrated, prepopulated 8109 jupiter 8 lowpass with a discount (very nice to work with). i also picked up a 8023 pcb but im waiting for parts to arrive from futurelec:(

the jp8 filter sounds great and i expect the odyssey will too.

You're going to love the 8023, it's nasty and screamy and amazing.

The_Crooked_Man · Post by **The_Crooked_Man** » Sat Mar 26, 2011 11:07 am

Any chance of another run of the JP8 filter in euro? I would absolutely LOVE to get my hands on one of those!

I just received the JP6 multimode filter from Rob. It's lovely.

The Arp multimode is real nice.
Gonna work on a 2500 soon.

Is this the Arp Odyssey filter? How does it compare
to a Wasp or polivoks? I have and love both of these filters for
their "nasty and screamy" sound. If the 8023 is along these lines
I might need to look into picking one up...

negativspace · Post by **negativspace** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:16 pm

The AM8023 = Arp 4023, the 2-pole LPF from the MK1 Odyssey. I happen to have a Wasp and a Polivoks in my rack right next to it, and it's a different kind of screamy. It's not unpredictable and nonlinear like those two, and it's not all about those 'sweet spots' - but it overdrives well and with resonance near the self-osc threshold it really does scream. It can sound very smooth too, just back the input volume off a bit.

I'll have to record a demo, a clip is worth a thousand words...

Thanks for the info. It seems as if this is right up my alley. I looked on the AMSynths site and didn't find a demo, so anything you could post would be very much appreciated.

ARP, multimode?

Isaiah · Post by **Isaiah** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 4:13 am

I'm also looking at the AM clones of the Odyssey Mk I and Mk II filters.

Did you build your AM8023 with a Tempco resistor, Negative Space?
Does it track 1V/Oct well? I imagine the Course and Fine frequency controls help.
I'd like to use mine as a sine oscillator as well as a filter, a la Axxe, Odyssey and Roland SH-09.

Any demos you have of the AM8023 would be great please!

The only analogue synth I have at the moment is an Oberheim SEM (patch-panel) though, so I wonder if there's too much common ground between the AM8023 and the SEM filter.
Interestingly, I'm sure I read somewhere that someone from ARP helped design the SEM filter, correct me if I'm wrong!
