Zzzorb is a four-pole multimode filter plus a linear VCA!
Zzzorb's filter core comprises a cascade of four VCA-based integrators with a feedback path for resonance control. The integrators are mixed together in different combinations to provide five simultaneous filter outputs:
- Highpass
- Bandpass
- Notch
- Two-pole lowpass
- Four-pole lowpass
Zzzorb's built-in VCA is a handy way to apply a volume envelope or tremolo to your filtered signal. You can even use it as a feedback or self-modulation control by passing one of the filter outputs through it!
Zzzorb provides CV inputs and attenuverters for controlling the VCA level, filter resonance, and filter frequency. Additionally, it has a filter pitch CV input with a unipolar attenuator. When the attenuator is turned fully clockwise, the filter frequency tracks the pitch CV input at one volt per octave.
The output of Zzzorb's VCA is normally added to its filter input, providing a quick way to manually or electrically control your signal's level. You can break that connection and detach the VCA from the filter by connecting a patch cable to the VCA output.
The VCA's CV input is normally connected to the filter's frequency CV input so you can easily modulate the filter cutoff and the VCA level with the same signal. You can break that connection by connecting a patch cable to the VCA CV input.

These times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delivery may occasionally take a little longer due to customs processing, local conditions, or carrier delays.
Dispatch times
Orders placed before 15:00 CET (Central European Time) on a working day are normally dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 15:00 CET, or on weekends and public holidays, will be dispatched on the next working day.
If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
