Critic Reviews

Round-up: Eurorack modular filters | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Livewire Synthesizers' Frequensteiner delivers a visually striking and sonically appealing experience, channeling the coveted Steiner-Parker Synthasystem's distinct squelchy, acidic character. With its all-discrete multimode LP/BP/HP filter, it offers a tactile and rich soundscape. However, its niche appeal and reliance on the esoteric Steiner-Parker design may not suit every user's taste or setup, potentially limiting its broader usability. Overall, the Frequensteiner is a solid choice for those seeking a unique and faithful recreation of a rare classic, though it might not fit everyone's sonic palette.
