We say...
It's fair to say Eurorack users aren't exactly short of options when it comes to filters. But Malstrom's Faun might be the only one you ever need, thanks to its wealth of options to dial in the filter's character. As usual with Malstrom stuff, the design and build quality are top-notch.
Manufacturer's description
Every analog filter has its own voice; warm, sharp, liquid, or aggressive. But that character is usually fixed at the design stage, leaving the musician with limited control over how the filter behaves.
Faun breaks this limitation with a unique design that allows continuous slopes across all four filter types. With a single knob, you decide exactly how the curve of the filter should be.
A dedicated Timbre circuit introduces ripple in the passband (like adding a comb filter) without changing type or slope. This moves Faun between smooth, vocal or liquid, depending on how you patch and play it. While using strong Timbre settings, internal gain increases; adding saturation to the tone.
Faun offers two input paths: a unity-gain input optimized for signals up to +-5V, and a variable gain input with attenuator for feedback patching, level matching, or adjusting its drive. This makes it easy to keep things clean, or push into saturated textures when the sound calls for extra energy.
With four simultaneous outputs (lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch types), Faun excels as a clean and precise filter, ideal for buttery sweeps, liquid textures, and dreamlike arpeggios. However when pushed through the variable gain input and higher Timbre settings, it can reveal bold acid lines and a touch of grit. Ideal when you want to add more color!

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.

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.
