The CWEJMAN MMF-2 Battleship Grey module is a versatile stereo multi-mode filter that can help users experiment with mono and stereo audio material by providing a variety of modifications and reshaping options. The module contains three functional blocks: filter, saturation stage, and mix. The filter block is based on two four-pole multi-mode filters with several selectable outputs, while the saturation stage includes both post and pre-modes of saturation. The mix block controls the proportion between the dry and wet audio signal, and the direct outputs are not affected by the mix. With CV-controllable parameters, the MMF-2 provides endless possibilities for sound manipulation.
