The Sherman Filterbank 2 is a musical instrument clearly distinct from the simple sound shaping of an "ordinary" filter. With two very complex filters that can be used in parallel or serial mode, LFO, envelopes, rich distortion, and various modular linking options, Filterbank 2 can generate a rich beat from the simple noise of a loose cable. The device is the right answer for unlimited sound shaping applications once you understand it. In an unusual housing and with a remarkably clear manual, the Filterbank 2 is unexpectedly functional and also extremely beautiful.

• Independent low pass, band pass, and high pass filters with resonance, frequency, and ADSR (positive - negative) controls
• These can be switched between parallel or serial
• The second filter has a 6-octave switch and can be synchronized with the first filter
• 1 ADSR generator for these filters with an external output for use with more filterbanks or modular systems, triggered by the incoming signal, by a second sound source, or by a gate
• 1 FM input for the filters, internal or external audio, LFO, or CV
• 1 VCA overdrive with AR generator as well
• 1 ring modulator input, internal or external audio, LFO, or CV
