The Sherman filter bank 2 is a musical instrument in a clear distinction from the simple sound shaping of an "ordinary" filter. With two very complex or complex filters, modulations, envelopes, a rich tube distortion and a variety of modular connectivity possibilities, a simple beat can be generated from the simple noise of a loose cable. The device is the right answer for unlimited sound shaping applications once you understand it. In an extraordinary housing and with a legendary manual, the filter bank 2 is unexpectedly functional and also still very beautiful.
