The Bionic Lester MKIII is a seriously cool filter module, especially if you're into industrial, experimental, or glitchy sounds. It nails that 90s digital filter vibe, and the morphing and CV control give you tons of creative options for sculpting movement and texture. A great addition for anyone building a modular system focused on sound design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Linking Filter B creates a parallel resonance peak, essentially doubling the intensity and complexity of the resonance – perfect for creating screaming, modulated tones.
It’s a respectful emulation, but it won’t perfectly replicate the subtle imperfections of vintage analog. It's a different flavor, leaning towards a cleaner, more precise digital character.
It's straightforward – just ensure adequate power and HP space; the power draw is moderate, but consider the overall current needs of your system.
