I love the old Gargoyles designs on Malekko/Wiard modules.
I wish there was a such a panel for the Wogglebug
There are 2 variations of Borg filter. The white knob on on the left and the black on the right.
The Borgs are described as:
"The Borg I (white knobs) has a slower response and a more mellow sound compared to the Borg II (black knobs). Thanks to its longer decay time, the Borg I is best for recreating the famous Buchla bongo patch, and the Borg II is best for a faster, more aggressive response." (Malekko)
Notice the use of vactrols:
The Borg 1 is on the left.
The Euro Borg 1 is sanctioned by Grant Richter of Wiard Synthesizer Company. This module is exactly the same as the original 1213A (Blacet Frac Rack compatible 1200 Series module), only in eurorack format.
These filters are influenced by the Buchla 292 Low Pass Gate and the Korg MS20.
That's where the name comes from: Buchla/Korg
" In Low Pass Gate (LPG) mode, the Borg will act as a filter and a VCA simultaneously.
When the resonance knob is turned “on” with a click, the Borg becomes a 12db filter influenced by the MS20."
"Two outputs are provided, output 2 has a slightly more aggressive resonance. Removing a jumper on the back of the Borg makes the resonance “scream” even more!"
Thanks to Grant Richter, Thomas Holley and Paul Barker
There is also a Dual Borg module:
You can link the two filters in Parallel or series with the flick of a switch.
...
The 300 series Borg is a dual filter design. It has additional LFOs with square, tri & saw outs.
You can link the two filters up to make a 4 pole.
This was a Frac Rack (Paia, Blacet) rack system compatible 1200 Series module.
The 1200 Series were produced between 1999 to 2002.and in very very small numbers. Estimates are that about 50 (possibly less) of these exist.
