Great service, fast delivery, great device!
Unfortunately, one of the six included TRS cables is broken – of course, that's not Unz Unz's fault.
Compact and sturdy patchbay. It’s nice that the rear connections are easily accessible.

Filter Options
The device is available with the original 3 Mutable voice cards (more will be added later on). Mixing voice cards is possible but not recommended.
SMR Filter: This filter uses the same topology as the Shruthi SMR4mkII. It is a low-pass 4-pole OTA-C filter, a smooth, Rolandish type of filter.
4P Filter: This filter uses the same core as the Shruthi 4-Pole Mission but only offers the LP4 output. The 4P is a bit fuzzier than the SMR type.
SVF Filter: This filter board features a 2-pole state variable filter with low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes. It is half of the Shruthi SVF Filter.
