It can continuously transition between lowpass and highpass filtering with a single knob. It also packs in an envelope follower for the incoming audio signal, which comes in handy when you're looking to increase your sound's internal animation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uID4uDLewDo?si=cdlFPRul5T-foDuL\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo parallel filter cores can be modulated in sync for work in the stereo realm, set apart for unique stereo effects (with either mono or stereo signal at the base), or chained together to make a 24 dB filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith only the mono output of the filter used, Ikarie behaves as a dual peak filter, which evokes formant-type sounds and rich, at will piercing, throaty resonance. The Beyond output gives you the spectral difference of the two filters, effectively turning the unit into a so-called twin peak filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd an internal VCA, CV control over panning and resonance, optional overdrive of the input, and you can explore a vast universe of sound design possibilities, from liquidy through pinged percussive to lush and eerie. All in a very compact form factor, with tons of space for precision and creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SbGH75hZVcE?si=CtdALa5b4-bqbrwu\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis module results from a collaboration between Václav Peloušek of Bastl Instruments and Peter Edwards of Casperelectronics. While Edwards' obsessive attention to detail gave this filter a uniquely balanced resonance and envelope response, the expertise of Peloušek delivered a one-hand user experience filter with a distinctive control scheme at a minimal footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module's name alludes to the 1963 Czech sci-fi movie Ikarie XB-1 (released as Voyage to the End of the Universe in the US), and the film served as the module's inspiration in many aspects. Long before Solaris, Space Odyssey 2001, or Star Wars, Ikarie focused on the subject of space exploration, and it paved the way for many to come. With its early electronic sound design and musical experimentation under the lead of Zdeněk Liška, immersive cinematography, and impressive production level, it remains one of the most original and exciting film titles in the science fiction genre. Bastl \u0026amp; Casper's Ikarie proudly carries the flag of this cinematic world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFEATURES.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etwo parallel filter cores (left and right)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebased on 12dB\/oct state variable filter topology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eunique lowpass\/highpass switching control scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewell balanced voltage controlled resonance circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eenvelope follower with 3 decay settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einput gain up to 5 times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estereo modulation - either panning of filter detuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eflexible patch programmable topology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebeyond output for difference spectrums (twin peak filter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emodulation attenuverter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ev\/oct input with scaling trimmer accessible from the front panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoutput stereo VCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTECHNICAL DETAILS.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epower consumption: +12V: 100mA, -12V: 95mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTC and fuse protected 10 pin power connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bastl Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53608292221112,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/2557\/9960\/files\/themidium_bastl_038.png?v=1781897577","url":"https:\/\/themidium.com\/products\/bastl-instruments-casper-electronics-ikarie","provider":"The Midium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
