The A-121-2 brings the smooth, surgical precision of the Dark Energy series into the modular format. While it shares a name and a general functional layout with its predecessor, the internal architecture is entirely new. By moving away from the vintage CEM-based circuit, this module offers a more modern response and improved stability while maintaining the gritty, aggressive character that defines the classic multimode sound.

The module is designed for parallel signal processing, offering four simultaneous outputs for Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, and Notch filtering. This allows you to route different frequency bands of the same source to various parts of your system, creating complex stereo images or layered textures. With its 1V/Octave tracking and the ability to enter self-oscillation at high resonance settings, the A-121-2 can also double as a stable sine wave oscillator for melodic use or FM modulation.

  • New-Generation Filter Core: Utilizes the proven multimode filter design from the Dark Energy II desktop synthesizer.
  • Simultaneous Filter Types: Individual outputs for Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, and Notch available at all times.
  • Wide Frequency Range: Operates from sub-audio (10Hz) to well beyond the human hearing threshold (20kHz+).
  • Precise Control Voltage: Two frequency CV inputs, including one dedicated 1V/Octave input for melodic tracking and one with a manual attenuator.
  • Voltage-Controlled Resonance: Manual and CV control over Q-factor with a dedicated attenuator for dynamic resonance sweeps.
  • Self-Oscillation: Capable of producing a pure sine wave at high resonance settings, ideal for use as a secondary sound source.
  • Input Gain Control: Dedicated level control at the audio input to prevent clipping or drive the filter core harder for saturation.
  • 8HP Width: Slim profile designed to fit easily into compact or performance-heavy systems.
