Malstrom Faun — Multimode Filter with Adjustable Slope and Timbre Circuit
Faun by Malstrom is an analog multimode filter with four simultaneous outputs — lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch — but it also has something you don't come across as often: a continuously variable slope control. Rather than switching between fixed filter responses, the Slope knob reshapes the actual curve of every output at once, moving smoothly from gentle -6dB rolls to steep -24dB responses. The bandpass and notch outputs shift their internal structure along the way too, so one knob opens up a wide range of tonal behavior without any mode switching. A Timbre control adds another layer by introducing passband ripple — something akin to a comb filter effect — that can move the sound from clean and smooth to vocal, liquid, or slightly metallic. Higher Timbre settings also push internal gain, adding a bit of saturation in the process.
Faun comes with two input paths — a unity-gain input as well as a variable-gain input with up to 4x boost for driving the filter harder, matching levels, or setting up feedback patches. V/oct tracking and an FM input with attenuverter handle pitch and modulation, and resonance goes all the way to self-oscillation. Faun manages to cover a lot of ground — from polite and precise to acid-like and saturated — all depending on how hard you push it. Listen to the demos below of this great-sounding filter for more!
