Endorphin.es Squawk Dirty to Me

Stereo zero-delay feedback VCF with 8 dirty modes

6 HP Eurorack module

Squawk Dirty to Me is a 6HP stereo voltage-controlled filter by Endorphin.es featuring 8 zero-delay feedback filter modes derived from the Grand Terminal module. It offers true stereo processing, a dedicated hi-pass filter in series, a post-filter VCA, and a meta CV scanning mode that morphs continuously across all 8 filter types, making it a highly versatile and musically expressive filter for both subtle tone shaping and aggressive sound mangling.

Features

  • 6HP stereo VCF with 96 kHz 16-bit digital audio processing
  • 8 filter modes: Transistor Ladder LP, MS-20 OTA LP, Lo-Pass Gate non-resonant, Resonant Lo-Pass Gate, DJ Bipolar State-Variable, High-Pass, Band-Pass, Comb Filter
  • All 8 filters use zero-delay feedback topology (Grand Terminal derived)
  • Meta CV scanning mode morphs continuously across all 8 filter types
  • Attenuverter (polarizer) for Meta CV input
  • Dedicated hi-pass filter in series before the main filter
  • Post-filter stereo VCA with unattenuated CV input (0 to +5V)
  • True stereo processing with separate In 1 / In 2 and Out 1 / Out 2
  • Input 1 normalled to Input 2 for mono-to-stereo operation
  • Manual cutoff, resonance, and HPF knobs act as attenuators when CV is patched
  • All CV inputs range 0 to +5V
  • All Access Pass mode: allpass delay on Out 2 for stereo widening up to 1/3 second

Controls & Jacks (23)

  • Meta CV Attenuverter— Polarizer/attenuverter for incoming meta CV signal; sets amount of polarized CV added to manual filter type offset
  • Cutoff Frequency— Manual control for filter cutoff frequency; acts as attenuator when CV is applied
  • Mode— Short press cycles through 8 filter types; long press enables meta filter scanning; extra long press enables all-pass mode
  • Resonance— Adjusts the emphasis (resonance peak) of the frequency, bandwidth, or vactrol decay depending on filter type; acts as attenuator when CV is
  • Cutoff CV— Unattenuated CV for cutoff frequency (0...+5V)
  • Audio In 2— Secondary audio input for stereo operation
  • Resonance CV— CV for resonance control (0...+5V)
  • Filter Mode LEDs— 4 white LEDs showing currently selected filter type (I-VIII); semi-lit indicates V-VIII modes, fully lit indicates I-IV modes
  • HPF CV— CV for high-pass filter with attenuator (0...+5V)
  • Audio Out 1— Left channel filtered audio output
  • VCA CV— Unattenuated CV for post-filter VCA (0...+5V)
  • Audio In 1— Primary audio input; internally normalled to input 2
  • Status— Status indicator for firmware updates and mode selection; blinks blue during update, red if signal level is incorrect
  • Audio Out 2— Right channel filtered audio output
  • out 1 audio out 2
  • VI
  • Allpass Stereo Spread— Visual indicator showing the stereo spread amount in all-access pass mode; 4 LEDs visualize delay from 0ms to 1/3 second
  • HPF (High-Pass Filter)— Manual control for high-pass filter cutoff; acts as attenuator for HPF CV input; in all-pass mode, sets allpass delay amount for OUT 2
  • Meta CV Attenuverter (Polarizer)— Polarizer/attenuverter for incoming meta CV signal; sets amount of polarized CV added to manual filter type offset
  • in1_trim— Backside trimmer for audio input 1 level — CCW for modular level, CW for line level
  • in2_trim— Backside trimmer for audio input 2 level — CCW for modular level, CW for line level
  • Meta CV— CV for filter type scanning in meta mode (0...+5V)
  • Stereo Spread LEDs— Visual indicator showing the stereo spread amount in all-access pass mode; 4 LEDs visualize delay from 0ms to 1/3 second
