Dave Smith Instruments DSM01 Eurorack Curtis Filter Review – Synthtopia

synthtopia.com

The DSM01 Curtis Filter by Dave Smith Instruments offers a slice of the classic Sequential sound in a compact module, with its resonant low-pass design and versatile switchable modes. While the filter’s sound has nostalgic appeal, it might feel underwhelming for those seeking distinct character. Concerns about build quality, specifically the surface mount knobs, could be a drawback for some users. Although it captures the essence of the Curtis filter, it may not fully satisfy those looking for robust Moog-like depth. Ideal for Eurorack enthusiasts, but it might not be a game-changer for all.
