Dannysound - MML Filter
Product information "Dannysound - MML Filter"
The Multi-Mode Ladder (MML) Filter is a twist on the classic transistor ladder low pass filter by Dr. Robert A. Moog.
This filter updates the classic 4-pole ladder design to provide Band Pass and High Pass filter responses as well as the traditional Low Pass filter,
this module also adds CV control over the resonance as well as two frequency CV inputs.
The circuit features a fully discrete transistor design with an op-amp buffered output, this allows soft saturation of the input signal
to get the classic overdriven tones of the ladder filter. A bass compensation circuit has been included to retain the bass response in Low Pass mode
when the resonance is increased.
The bass compensation also helps to improve the response of the High Pass filter.
The bass compensation can be removed if the user wishes to have a more classic response (see mods section in build doc).
Features:
• Low Pass, Band Pass and High Pass modes.
• CV controlled resonance.
• Added low frequency compensation.
• Soft saturation of input.
• 2 x frequency CV inputs.
DIY-Kit-Type:
THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy. For build guide, more info, videos etc. please check the buttons below.

Manufacturer "Dannysound"
Dannysound is a small Berlin based electronics company, specialising in the design of Eurorack modular synthesisers.
The aim of Dannysound synthesisers is to provide high quality audio design and performance. There is a focus on warm sounding, soft-clipping saturation inherent to the designs, that can make recorded tracks "sit" better in a mix.
The collection started with a basic synthesiser voice that included reworkings of some classic designs to provide added functionality or better performance where necessary. The future of the collection will focus more on original designs, however, there are also some classic modules that have been requested by users that might make their way into the line-up.
The modules are currently available as kits from Thonk.co.uk and there are plans to start making fully assembled versions in the near future.
I started playing guitar in the 80’s, when it was cool. In the 90’s I studied jazz at music college and then went on to have a glittering career playing some of the worst pubs and clubs, to absolutely no one for 5 years. Then I decided to make electronic music and before I even recorded the first note I got a record deal…they liked the idea! Recorded an album… got dropped!
Had a ton of rubbish jobs until a friend suggested university, so I got a degree in electronics with the specific goal of making musical equipment. Designed guitar effects, valve guitar amplifiers and synths; building polyphonic and monophonic complete systems for a number of years. A friend suggested I design Eurorack modules and with the help of Thonk the brand was established.
The company name was suggested by a friend also. I fixed a lot of bands gear for a while and I liked to tinker around to get the best sound possible, so the name Dannysound (Danny's sound), is what he suggested… it seemed to fit with the design philosophy, plus I had no better ideas, so that’s the name.
