Jomox - MoonWind MkII
- Order number: 230447
Jomox Moonwind Mk II is ananalog stereo filter with lots of modulation-options and effects.
A proper analog stereo filter for your desktop. Jomox mastermind Jürgen Michaelis adds some neat tricks to this reincarnation of the Moonwind and upgrades it in many areas.
As with the original unit, the Moonwind MKII is an OTA-based multimode filter that makes the main parameters such as cutoff, resonance and filter Q accessible via separate knobs on the desktop interface. All filters have lowpass, bandpass, highpass and notch modes and are inter-connectable. An LFO can control the cutoff frequency using various waveforms (sawtooth up/down, triangle, sine, multiple square waveform ratios), and in addition each filter has an envelope follower generated from the audio signal. Via the Hi-Z inputs, friends of Chemical Brothers or The Prodigy can also feed their guitars to a filter bank treatment (Listening tip: Chemical Brothers - Morning Lemon).
The sequencer can record cutoff, resonance and Q-factor per step and filter separately and does contain a maximum of 64 steps per pattern (4 bars with 16 steps). The clock divider allows a resolution of up to 32ths per bar, the record/undo function allows direct recording of your creative filter dreams, which can also take the sequencer and LFO along for the ride via MIDI clock. The cutoff frequency can be recorded as MIDI note, the remaining parameters as CC.
The digital effect board provides 15 algorithms, analog feedback allows the recording of tape delay flags and waveguides. Per effect algorithm several parameters are available for control. Besides the delay, there is a reverb, chorus, flanger, some wacky FX creations and also a built-in noise generator.
Fortunately, the device has now also been upgraded for lovers of control voltage and offers fixed CV In and Outputs for cutoff frequency and VCA (CV In only), in addition, three assignable CV In jack pairs are now available. Significantly more hotkeys allow faster access to elementary settings such as LFO or envelope assignments or filter algorithms, so that instead of menu diving you can rather dive into sound research. There is a great touchpad below the 256x64p OLED display with which you can swipe thorugh parameters such as cutoff values, sequencer steps or FX drives. Yes!

Manual
Juergen Michalis was doing repairs and modifications of analog gear for Berlin techno acts before he tried to release the final solution for the ultimative bass drum. His answer took shape with the famous X-Base09. A plethora of products followed and his drum machines and modules have found a home in the racks and studios of numerous well-known musicians.
