MULTIMODE FILTER /
RESONATOR MODULE 1047
Legendary 2500 Series 12dB State
Variable Filter Module for Eurorack
Controls
(1) COARSE – Use thi s knob to dial in the gene ral frequenc y
area you want f or the high-pas s threshold, low-p ass
threshold, band-pass center frequency and notch lter
center fr equency, then go to the FI NE knob to rene the
freque ncy setting . The frequenc y set by the COARSE and
FINE knobs (“ fc”) will be use d simultaneousl y for every
lter in the module.
(2 ) FINE – U se this knob to rene a nd focus the fre quency set
by the COARSE FREQ UENCY knob.
(3 ) RESONANCE (NORM/LIM) – This sli ding switch let s
you choos e between norma l resonance mode (NO RM)
and limiti ng mode (LIM), which limit s the height of a
lter’s res onant peak. The LIM s etting prevent s circuit
overload w hen focusing a lte r on a strong harmon ic or
fundamental frequency, especially at high Q settings on
the RESON ANCE (Q) knob. In other sit uations, the LIM
setti ng can result in a ver y low output signal, a nd so the
NORM set ting is usually pre ferred.
(4 ) RESONANCE (Q) – This k nob controls the wi dth/
smoothness and narrowness/sharpness of the lter
curve s. At low Q settings, t he lter curves ar e wider and
smoother, wit h a gentler eec t on the sound (except fo r
the notch l ter, which functio ns most eect ively at low
Q setti ngs). As you increase the Q s etting, the lte r curves
graduall y become narrower an d sharper, which can hel p
you to focu s in on narrow frequ ency bands. At high er Q
setti ngs, the various lt ers can produce r esonant peaks
in the lter c urves that boos t some frequen cies and may
require m oving the RESONANC E (NORM/LIM) switch t o
the LIM setting to prevent overloading the circuit (or the
INPUT atte nuator knob can be tu rned down).
(5 ) F C V 1 – This knob adjust s the strength of t he control
voltage si gnal coming in throu gh the F CV 1 jack.
(6 ) F C V 2 – This knob adjust s the strength of t he control
voltage si gnal coming in throu gh the F CV 2 jack.
(7 ) NOTC H FEQUENCY/fc – Use this kno b to oset the notc h
lter’s cente r frequency (“ fc”) set by the COARS E and FINE
frequency controls. For standard notch lter behavior, the
NOTCH FREQ/ fc control should b e set to “1” on the scale.
This stan dard setting c an then be tweaked by m oving the
NOTCH FREQ/ fc knob very sligh tly around “1”. Also, if
higher Q val ues are added via the R ESONANCE knob whi le
the notch l ter is oset fro m fc, the higher Q value s result
in a resona nt peak at fc, with the n otch at the point set by
the NOTCH FREQ /fc knob.

(8 ) INPUT – Th is knob adjusts th e strength of the a udio signal
coming thr ough the INPUT jack.
(9) Q CV – This k nob adjusts the s trength of the Q cont rol
voltage si gnal coming in throu gh the Q CV jack.
(10) INPUT – Use this jac k to route audio signal s into the
module via c ables with 3.5 mm con nectors. You can als o
route in a key board gate signal to “rin g” the lter and
produce a un ique percussive s ound when you press a ke y.

Power Connection
The MULTIMODE FILTER / RE SONATOR MODULE 1047 module
comes wit h the required powe r cable for connec ting to a standar d
Eurorac k power supply syst em. Follow these st eps to connect
power to the mo dule. It is easier to make t hese connecti ons before
the modul e has been mounted int o a rack case.
