Hi Reason Talk crew!

Just wanted to post a notice about my new rack extensions, just released a few minutes ago!

It's quite simple high pass and low pass filters, inspired by the Altec 9069/9068 passive filters that King Tubby had in his studio. The high pass was known as the mysterious "big knob" and he often used it on the send/return effects, like sweeping the reverb tail or insert it before the reverb. A great trick is to put it before the reverb on 7.5k, by that you almost remove all signal and then you just lower the cut off to let drums and what not through to the (spring) reverb. Instant dubby vibes!

It's by no mean an accurate emulation (i had no possibility to get my hands on those rare things..) it's rather an approximation from listening to dubs by Tubby and looking at clones. The main thing with them is that they have those specific stepped cut off frequencies so you get the same characteristic stepped sweeps when routing fx thorugh them. I've also added peak control and an transistor drive input circuit so that you can drive the signal for some "analog heat" And yes, for smooth sweeps there is a CV jack on the back linked to the cutoff frequency.

I made three units, the HP1012 high pass, LP1024 LowPass and LPHP 1224 combining both of them in one unit.
They're available in a bundle for a heavily reduced price, so you could pick and chose what is of interest or convenience!

Congrats! These look amazing! I'm looking forward to trying them out when I get home from work!

Wow, those are beautiful! Nice job with the GUI.

These look fantastic, well done.
I will bight The reference to Analog Heat is "purely coincidental" or some other inspiration happening?
Also the filters on the ES-01 are great, any relation to these ones?

Ah, I see what you're meaning here, but no the smiley was because it's software
Haven't tried the elektron box, if it sounds similar it's a coincidence and I'd be very happy since I love their stuff!

The filters are somewhat similar to ES01 since they wont self resonate, but the Hi-peak position is not as exaggerated as when having ES01 on extended mode

They look great and they are available in the good old Propellerhead Shop

Yeah, I love the RE format! Acutally I'm working on a couple of more RE devices at the moment, no idea how long those will take thou...

Thank you! And thanks Joey too , happy you like the look!

These are simple UI designs but they're done exceptionally well, and I wish more RE developers spent the extra time and effort on the GUI because IT MATTERS.

I'm a VST guy all the way, but I'm actually going to check these out JUST BECAUSE THEY LOOK FANTASTIC. Literally, that is the only reason why.

Now, I hope they sound good lol.

Yep. Good GUIs matter.

Truth be known, the way Rob Papen synths look is probably one of the reasons I hardly ever load them up.

That said, I’ve also bought/ tried a load of crap just because they were pretty.

True also for me with plugins and girls.

Now I demo both before I buy.

Ahhhh! Yes, need to edit that

These sound great. On the 1224, HP filter, drive the input, set the peak to HI, freq to 70, and check out the thickness. Looks like I'm buying my first REs in a while.

Beautiful GUIs. As always!

Yeah, it's nice to use it for bass emphasis instead of cutting away, like of opposite of it's "intended" use!
During the development I started putting them on amlost everything, just to get some colorisation of the sound.

For a second I thought Arturia started releasing filters!

Anyway, they look great and I'm gonna take them for a spin today!

Lovely modeling and shader work on the knobs. What are you using to model and render your filmstrips?

Thanks! I use Cinema4D

Make a juicy and complex analog poly-synth (please not mono) with the look and sound of your filters - take my money now.

Too bad Reason never set a quality standard for the GUIs. Not saying everything needs to be on this level, but too many are just horrible or uninspiring. Well done on these!

you had me at king tubby!

not sure if you had the chance to check out the tapeop from 3 months ago, but it was all dub engineers, and the scientist was talking about it. dub has been one of those defining genres of music that has stayed with me since I first heard it in high school 30 years ago. I'll be checking this out for sure!

Awesome, you know if I can find that tapeop (?) somewhere now? Would love to see it =)

I’ll try to make a short video showing a couple of ways to route the filters tomorrow, will post link here when it’s ready.
