Inspired by a legendary 2 voices drum module of the late seventies, our digital instrument was designed to maintain the playability and the fun factor of the analog device. It features 6 synthesis modes, selectable with the big rotary knob and 2 voices of polyphony. It features a step sequencer for every row, syncable to external MIDI clock just pressing a toggle. The sequencer also features a boomerang mode that plays a forward-backward loop. All the (self-explanatory) parameters are suitable for full automation sending Control Change MIDI messages.

Filterjam is a multi-band resonant filter delivering weird ringmod-like filtered sounds. The input signal is divided into 4 bands that are then summed or multiplied together according to the selected mode. Filterjam can be very harsh or gentle, it can add brightness or depth to synth sounds, but it can also completely mangle acoustic sources.
