Product information "Malekko - Wiard Borg 1 (white)"
Out of production.
The Borg Filter – A hybrid of Buchlas Lowpass Gate 292 und and the high-/lowpass filter of the Korg MS 20 (but without individual controls for resonance and cutoff) is a very interesting and aggressive filter which can be used as a VCA as well.
Differences between Borg1 and Borg2: The Borg 1 has white knobs. It is the as the original blue Wiard 300 series 6U module. It is softer in sound and more percussive, has a longer decay time [by x10] and a more mellow hollow tone. It sounds rather like a classic lopass gate.
The peaking control determines the resonance but also acts as a switch between filter or VCA. The resonance is strong and the filter self-oscillates very fast. A further control blends from low- over band- to highpass mode. Because of the slow and inert Vacrols used in the circuit it is quite impossible to modulate the cutoff frequency with fast CV signals.
