Noise Reap has a limited product lineup, but what they lack in quantity they make up for in noisy, knarly, biting quality. These two modules in particular are slim monsters that may well be able to take on some of the bigger players (in multiple respects).
The only sounds you're hearing are from the VCO and the VCF. And a little reverb at the end from Halls of Valhalla. But that's it. The envelope is from Zadar, the sequence is from Stochastic IG.

![SEM filter comparison 2
Its been a minute since my first SEM filter comparison (link above/below), and a few new SEM filters have come out since then that I found irresistable.
This comparison is low pass only. It would take far too long to compare (in what I view as a useful way) every output and mode, so this is it for now.
In theory theyre all based on the SEM circuitry, but some do have alterations. Im less concerned with purity or adherence to the original sound as I am with how good they sound period.
[Note: the E430 was originally on a power supply that it didnt like, or didnt like it, or had a module on the same power bar that wasnt cooperating. Youll hear a weird delay, which as it turns out was power related. Theres an addendum at the end with the E430 by itself on good power so you can hear it properly.]
Source VCO is an Acid Rain chainsaw. Envelope is Zadar. Sequencer is
