Discover the Waldorf VCF1 Analog Filter Module, a versatile addition to your Eurorack setup that promises to elevate your sound sculpting capabilities. This 18HP module is not just a filter; it's a powerhouse of tonal versatility, merging an analog multimode filter with distortion and overdrive functionalities. Whether you're looking to add warmth and punch to your signals or venturing into more aggressive sonic territories, the VCF1 has you covered.

The module features a state-variable topology that allows for a 12dB/octave multimode filter, capable of lowpass, bandpass, and highpass filtering. With intuitive controls, you can modulate the cutoff frequency and resonance, enabling a dynamic range of sonic possibilities. The pre-filter distortion adds grit, while the post-filter overdrive offers further shaping of your sound.
