Waldorf • MiniWorks 4-Pole

The MiniWorks is a stand-alone 4-pole resonant analog filter and modulation module. Use it to create those Daft-Punk filter sweeps on entire drum & rhythm loops! Run any sounds, synthesizers or loops through it and filter them with a truly analog-like VCF filter that is not only very flexible but MIDI controllable as well! There are many modulation sources that can be programmed between the extensive VCF, VCA, envelope and LFO sections and these settings can be stored in the (20) user memory patches. The MiniWorks can also be overloaded for a lo-fi crunchy sound too! If it were a true stereo filter it would be perfect (input is mono, output is stereo), but in its price range it is the best analog filter module available!

The filter is only low pass, not low pass/band pass as described above. There are two versions of the filter. the 12V PSU model has a custom Waldorf transistor ladder filter and the rarer 9V PSU version uses a CEM filter.

The VCA get be set to always open, triggered by a audio threshold or MIDI. All parameters are MIDI CC controlled and the LFO goes up to audio rate - which makes it possible to do some very complex FX.
