Future Retro Transfer

Transfer from Future Retro is an excellent sounding analog multimode filter with an impressive selection of 16 filter variants. Strictly speaking, Transfer is the Eurorack decoupling of the filter circuitg from the Vectra synthesizer. Basically, lowpass, bandpass, Highpass and notch are represented in various dB strengths. Some go lower, others are more resonant and then there are the VCS variants. The latter feature a characteristic of synthesizers from the British cult brand EMS, in which rapidly changing modulation signals are smoothed out. In terms of sound, the filter moves between old Roland synths, a little EMS flair and a little 'Moogian' resonance behavior. Of course, the filter can also be extensively modulated. There are three bipolar CV inputs for this purpose, which allow the filter type to be selected via control voltage as well as the modulation of Cutoff and resonance. The audio input can be overdriven and sounds very musical even at maximum level. Thanks to the integrated VCA, Transfer can also be used as the last module in the signal path, depending on Patch; the VCA is only active when a cable is plugged into the CV input.
