Sherman FB2 MIDI Control Fun

via bigcitymusic:

It seems like every time we turn on the Sherman Filterbank 2 we get new and interesting sounds. We have never messed with the MIDI control before and thought it would be an opportune time for a video.

The Elektron MachineDrum is sequencing the drums and controlling the cutoff of filter 1 & 2 as well as the the release on the AR envelope. If you watch closely, you can see us un-mute the MIDI sequencer channel on the MD, engaging MIDI control.

The Sherman Filterbank is a load of fun, and certainly one of the best values in the analog processor realm!
