Welcome to the home of Modcan Synthesizers.
Modcan offers modules in 3 different formats.
A series is the original format with banana jacks.
B Series shares the same circuitry but uses a more
friendly rack
sizing and 1/4" jacks.
Euro is the newest Modcan format designed for the
Euro Rack format

Range Switch
Retained from the original design, sets the frequency band over which the Fixed Volt knob operates in two octave
steps.
Position 1: 1Hz to 5kHz
Position 2: 4Hz to 20kHz
Position 3: 16Hz to 60kHz
Input Level
The filter input level is adjusted using the Level control attenuator.
1V/Oct Input
Exponential converters track linear voltage input at 1 volt per octave. This input is primarily used for keyboard
tracking and pitch control of filter in self-oscillation mode.
CV Input 1
Control Voltage input with attenuator to control the depth of frequency modulation. When the knob is centered no
modulation occurs. Positioning the knob to the left of zero inverts the incoming voltage (negative) and to the right the
voltage is non-inverted (positive).
CV Input 2
Secondary Control Voltage input with attenuator. CV inputs are used to control the filters cutoff point. The most
common input signal would be from an envelope generator or LFO.
Regen Control
Knob varies the amplitude of the resonant peak at the cutoff frequency of the filter.
Fixed Voltage
Sets the cutoff frequency of the filter
Specs: Wide-range lowpass filter with variable-height
resonant peak at cutoff frequency.
4 pole response
24db/oct cutoff slope
Range:Continuously variable from 10Hz-18kHz
Input impedance: 100K ohms
Output impedance: 1k ohms
Control Sens: 1 volt per octave
