Variable Character Filter

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. 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!
