Doepfer A-106-6 XP Filter

The Doepfer A-106-6 XP Filter is a versatile and highly capable multi-mode filter module designed to integrate seamlessly into Eurorack synthesizer systems. This module draws inspiration from classic filter circuits of the past and offers a unique take on signal processing with its 16 filter types, 8 of which can be used simultaneously.

Filter Types

The A-106-6 XP Filter offers a wide range of filter outputs, including low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, all-pass, and notch filtering. The filter types are divided into two banks of eight, which can be instantly switched between, allowing for quick and easy auditioning of different filter types or use as a creative effect during performances.

VCF Controls

All standard VCF controls are available, including a CV-controlled resonance dial with an attenuator. This opens up a new world of integration and connectivity, allowing you to connect a wide range of devices, from additional oscillators to envelope generators, to your setup.

Distinctive Doepfer Sound

What sets the Doepfer A-106-6 XP Filter apart from other filters is its smooth and natural response, even when driven to the extreme. Unlike other filters that can introduce significant amounts of distortion and grit, the A-106-6 maintains the smooth tone that you expect from an expander-style filter. The outputs of the four internal filter stages are mixed with different levels and polarities to create the 16 potential filters, each with its own unique sonic character.

Diverse Sound Design Possibilities

Filtering is a vital aspect of modular synthesis, adding movement and excitement to your tracks or taming harsh highs and lows. The Doepfer A-106-6 XP Filter offers a wide range of filter outputs and pole levels, making it ideal for live performers looking for a quick and easy way to transform the sound of their signal. From aggressive, resonant LPF’s to band-pass filtering to help a lead sawtooth jump out from the mix, the possibilities are endless.
