Eowave, the creators behind the Quadrantid Swarm synthesizer, have unveiled their latest Eurorack module, the Tempête Magnétique – a specialized quad analog filter. This project has been in development for two years before reaching production.
The Tempête Magnétique, with its 22HP size, goes beyond the conventional analog filter. It features four multi-mode 12dB filters (offering high-pass, band-pass, and low-pass modes) that can be routed in series or parallel. These filters can operate independently, processing four different signals, or they can be combined and even cross-modulated. Each filter provides individual controls for cutoff frequency and resonance, along with a mode selection switch.

New Industrial Design – Extensive Kontakt Integration
What sets the Tempête Magnétique apart is its versatility. While it can function as a traditional quad filter for quadraphonic processing, it delves into advanced sound design, drawing inspiration from West Coast complex oscillators. Users can explore its feedback capabilities, transforming the filters into unpredictable oscillators with the unique warmth of analog circuitry.
The module’s independent outputs can be routed back into their inputs, allowing for the creation of oscillator-like sounds, though not precisely tuned. However, this analog design’s occasional quirks can provide a distinct sonic character. Furthermore, these outputs can be employed to achieve complex stereo effects, and cross-modulating the filter pairs unlocks unconventional sound processing possibilities.
In addition to these features, the Tempête Magnétique offers a ping input and includes a built-in envelope follower, making it suitable for crafting percussive sounds. The module also provides phase correction on its outputs.
For modulation, CV control is available for individual filters as well as each filter pair. The Tempête Magnétique stands out as one of the most captivating analog filters currently available. It can serve as a versatile quad filter, a sound generator, and an innovative effects processor all within a single module. Its capacity for raw exploration opens up new facets of sonic creativity.
