The CROSS FILTER is the big brother of the ACTION FILTER II. The most noticeable feature is the useful desktop housing and the chrome fader in between both CUTOFF knobs. With that you can fade between filtered and unfiltered signal to generate handmade rhythmical effects or simply got a mix between direct - and effect signal.
Extended information Now the Action Filter II - DJ-based analog filter has a big brother - the Cross Filter - which comes in a handy desktop housing.
The Cross Filter (like the Action Filter II) is a live tool which won't bore you with pre-set effect algorithms, but invites you to play around and improvise.
We intentionally avoid uncreative programmability and "total recall" and concentrate on practical features and a clear user-interface.
The Cross FIlter can be used as a stereo notch or bandpass filter (each with a 24db/octave slope). The speciality of these filter types is that they have separate cut-off and resonance controllers for each flank, so the bandpass or notch range can be freely widened or narrowed. This flexibility is achieved by using combinations of individual low and highpass filters.
Additionally there's a third cut-off controller which influences both cut-off points, enabling you to move an adjusted band or notch through the whole frequency range.
The Cross Filter is also equipped with two trigger buttons and a fader for creating rhythmical effects. While the buttons allow you to switch between your direct and effected signal, the fader allows you to mix beween them smoothly.
There are both, RCA and 1/4 TRS in and output jacks available for hooking up the Cross Filter with the outside world. The active input pair can be selected with a switch on the rear of the unit.
To avoid the nerve-racking search for a PSU or for a free power socket for it, we've equipped the Cross Filter with an internal power supply.
