Patching Panda Etna
A triple-control analog morphing filter.
20 HP Eurorack module
A triple-control analog morphing filter that saves filter states as snapshots and recalls, morphs, or sequences up to eight stages by hand, CV, or clock.
Features
- Stores complete filter states as snapshots across up to eight stages.
- Provides shared frequency and FM control for all three filters.
- Uses Q compensation to maintain output volume as resonance increases.
