No, what really would help Carlos out is an answer to his question. Both the Wasp-Filter and the SEM-Filter share the same controls, as stated on the Doepfer website. As is stated there as well, sonically both filters are miles apart.

So Carlos, can you perhaps tell us whether you have any different filters Is this your first foray into the modular world or are you an old-timer

You did state that you want to use the filter for vanilla stuff. Neither module springs to mind immediately under these constraints. Have you looked at other modules / do you use other filters


On a different note: Argitoth, it would be great if you were to channel your opinions into something more constructive. Dissing a module and calling it overpriced crap is all very well. Keep in mind though that not everyone has your wealth of experience and does not have access to your mammoth synth collection.So please enlighten us with your masterly ways and don't despair if it appears too simplistic.

It's not you, it's us! We don't get it!

A-106-5 I used to have an A-106-5 but got rid of it. You could get an
overdriven sound out of it, it can't self oscillate, but the sound it
had just wasn't worth keeping IMO. Lets get some audio demos of the
A-106-5 and Wasp Filter, that would really help Carlos out.
