MS20, OSCar, Jupiter 8, SH101, Prodigy…
These are names with pedigree, gravitas and a lot of history—and great music—behind them. All these famous synths have been loved for decades for their distinctive warmth and growly tones.
The main filters from each one of these synths are replicated in The Drop, all with Cytomic’s precision modelling. Released in 2012, The Drop gives you:
- MS1 and MS2: Korg MS20 rev 1 (BJT SKF Sallen Key Filter) and rev2 (OTA SKF)
- OSR: Oxford Synthesizer Co. OSCar (SVF State Variable Filter)
- JRP: Roland Jupiter 8 / Juno 6 (IR3109 OTA Cascade)
- SHR: Roland SH101 / SH-09 (IR3109 OTA Cascade) and
- PRD: Moog Prodigy (BJT Ladder Cascade)
- WSP: Wasp filter with full frequency range stable self oscillation modifications (CMOS SVF)
And, you also get:
- SMP: Andy’s own filter creation, a custom filter half way between a Sallen Key and a SVF with an OTA filter core and strong resonance tone
- AMU: a unique sounding transposed SVF as used in the Odyssey Mk1
- KSM: a variation on the MS2 SKF but with stronger resonance
But now, with added Prophet!
In case you need a little something extra, we’ve added another classic filter to the lineup, one of the most sought after filters ever made:
- PT1: Prophet 5 rev1 discrete OTA cascade filter
The PT1 filter—identical to the one released in our CF100 VCV Rack module—is a highly detailed analog model of the classic cascade filter found in the early Prophet synthesisers which used the SSM2040 filter chip. We also made a custom designed 4-pole high-pass version of the filter using the same filter core, and made sure each stage flips and clips the signal to make it as similar in operation to the low pass version as possible.
