Frequently Asked Questions

While not as pristine as some flagship filters, the Transfer delivers a characterful and creative sound, prioritizing versatility over absolute neutrality.
The VCA is integrated and controlled primarily via CV, but you can use it to shape the filter's output dynamically—it’s not a dedicated standalone VCA.
The overdrive can be quite aggressive, and while it's useful for adding grit, taming it requires careful attenuation; it's not easily bypassed completely.
