TRSHMSTR is a distortion module for a modular synth consisting of a bandpass filter (FLTR) and a drive (DRV) section. FLTR and DRV can be used together or independently.
The outputs of the FLTR and DRV sections are internally connected to the other inputs, so if you patch the FLTR input and DRV output, you can extract the signal processed in series with FLTR → DRV. If you patch the DRV input and FLTR output, the process will be DRV → FLTR. Patching both the inputs and outputs of each section eliminates internal connections, and FLTR and DRV process completely different signals.
FLTRIs a resonant bandpass filter with three types of feedback that can be switched with a switch. Adjusted for vintage wah-wah-like movement.
DRVIs roughly based on the design of the old Tube Screamer, but tuned for optimal sound over a wider frequency range and modular levels. There are two switches, HPF is the setting of the high-pass filter on the input. The original Tube Screamer settings are at the bottom position. The upper position passes the lowest bass as it is. FLAVOR also changes the overtone and compression sensation.
The frequency and resonance of the FLTR and the gain and tone of the DRV can be controlled by voltage, and the movement and modulation unique to the modular can be added to the distortion sound.
