signal processing, and they are easy to arrange and connect to each
other. With a uniform, friendly, uncomplicated user interface and
high-resolution digital processing, the ModFX product line is
perfect for keyboardists, guitarists, and any other studio or live
performance artists.

Important features of your Philtre

High Resolution Processing
The Philtre internally uses 28-bit stereo digital signal processing.
The digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion is sampled
at 48kHz with 24 bits of resolution. That means you can get the
effect you want, without adding unwanted noise and distortion.
ModLink
If you're using multiple ModFX boxes to make your own unique
effects chain, ModLink makes it easy to hook up without needing
patch cords between units in the chain. The nine-pin connectors
built into each side of the case enable a ModFX box to transfer
digital audio and word clock directly to another. Any number of
units can be connected together.
Configurable Modulation
The Philtre features configurable modulation. The user can
control the shape, rate, and depth of the modulation, and it can be
triggered by the audio input itself. The rate of modulation can be
synchronized to the tempo, both by tap tempo and by audio input.
