Doepfer A-106-5 SEM Filter

Great SEM-filter

It sounds like a SEM to my ears. I am sure more pricey options can get you "closer" or with slightly less measurable noise, but this is an excellent sounding filter.

SEM

Great sound to the resonance/drive. The build is great and it's nice it has two cv inputs. However I wouldn't get this as the only MMF filter in my rack, but as an alternative MMF, because the mix knob when set to LP will bleed some HP noise through.

Quality SEM filter.

Incredible value for the money !!

I had some problems with it, it's on warranty repair, I'll see when I get it back if the problems are solved (clicks and other weird stuff happened, like a short circuit inside the module...). but he sound is very good, not a self-oscilliant filter, more of a smooth one, very good for drums I think, and/or to filter the sounds coming from external mics or radio music module. For a synth voice I always prefer a 24db ;)

Good for the price

Sounds good but doesn't really hold its ground next to pricier eurorack filters. Has an SEM vibe but obviously doesn't sound identical. Would recommend for someone getting into eurorack on a budget like I was.

Warm and rounded

I bought the a106-5 without high hopes for it, but it is capable of some really nice warm tones. Overdriving it especially can be beautiful and it responds really well to modulation. Having two audio outputs also means can create a feedback path to the the cutoff cv in for self modulation (I like using the bandpass to modulate cutoff and take the audio from the lowpass for instance).

SEM Filter

Fairly ordinary sounding filter. Good if you want something like that...

Very nice sounding filter module. Cutoff frequency seems to work in range from 100 Hz to 8kHz so choose other module if you want the sound disappear in high-pass mode. Also band reject mode would benefit steeper slope than 12db/oct for more trancy notch sounds. Note that this module is best at toning the sound rather than making effects.

Excellent filter, especially considering the ?74 price.

I find the Low Pass/ High Pass mix option especially useful.

Also the low pass can really push out some heavy low end when the frequency is turned down.

Great sounding filter

A very nice sounding filter, pleased I have this in my set up. I have lots of synths, but I'm very new to modular. So far I have been very impressed with the doepfer modules. 1 because they sound good, but 2 because they are also pretty good value for money.
