Key Features
Product Ref: 95693
The Intellijel Dr. Octature II is a highly versatile Eurorack module that combines a 4-pole lowpass filter and an octature sine wave VCO/LFO. This unique module brings you the best of both worlds, at its core it boasts a 4-pole laow pass filter similar to vintage designs. The sound that filter produces is reminiscent of classic filters, such as the SH-101 or the Jupiter-6. The result is a crisp and articulate sound that’s retains its natural warmth thanks to the analog circuitry and premium-grade components. The 4-pole filters design is based on the renowned ‘cascaded ota’ design, combined with superior 2164 VCAs for optimal audio fidelity and performance value. It features a unique resonance distribution mode, titled ‘QUAD’. This results in a fat and warm low pass filter sound, which is balanced to the resonance on all 8 outputs.
As well as being a premium-grade 4-pole LPF, the Dr. Octature II can also act as a sine wave VCO, when the module is made to self-oscillate. When the filter starts self-oscillating, the module generates a clean and concise sine wave VCO, which allows you to track over several octaves. Switching to the LFO mode makes the phase shifted outputs become highly useful for modulation creativity. The LFO mode offers a wide range of modulation options, for example It can be used to make your Planar spin in circles. One of the latest additions to this design is the soft clipping circuit, which provides added warmth and a boost before filtering the sound.
The Intellijel Dr. Octature II features 13 patch points in total including phase separated outputs. The Octature phase separated outputs are a set of 8 outputs, which are broken up into pairs. The pairs scale up in 45 degree increments, with each pair featuring a different slope. The slopes included are: 6db, 12db, 18db and 24db. The separated outputs are rotated every 45 degrees or comes as two sets of four 180-degree shift outputs. As well as providing phase shifted outputs, the module also features a 1V/Oct, Q, and dual FM outputs for added versatility. The large precision attenuators allows you to dial in everything from your Cutoff frequency to fine tuning your sound and more.
