Modular Synthesis - Soul Pass Filter
Introduction
Modular synthesizers offer a tactile approach to sound production that is consistently inventive by design. Emerging from the 1960s counterculture, they are a product of expansive thinking that challenged conventions in both instrument design and creative practice. Six decades later, the limits of possibility only increased. In Modular Synthesis Studio, I have learned and applied concepts of voltage-controlled synthesizers to creative coding and embedded computing platforms.

The SOUL PASS FILTER has three features:
● Allows for the control of Gain for the High/Low Pass Filter via a potentiometer.
● Controls Frequency, Resonance, and Q through a photoresistor sensor.
● Two hands (DIY pressure sensors) independently modulate output CV ranges from -1 to 1 at different frequencies (left at 10,000 Hz and right at 800 Hz).
Characteristics of the filter include Dark, Mysterious, Raw, and Pulsating.
This innovative module leverages advanced sensory technology to deliver a robust and immersive auditory experience
