Behringer SURGES – Analog Multimode Filter for Eurorack
The Behringer SURGES is an advanced analog multimode filter designed specifically for use in Eurorack modular systems. This module is a faithful recreation of the iconic Ripples filter by Mutable Instruments and targets users who value high sound quality, functionality, and compact design. SURGES fits both simple and highly complex modular setups. With three operating modes (LP, BP, HP), switchable filter slope, and an integrated VCA, this module allows for creative real-time sound processing.
Filter Characteristics
The module is based on the proven 2164 and 13700 analog ICs, known for their musical clarity and warmth. SURGES offers smooth filtering in low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass modes. Additionally, the filter slope can be switched between 12 dB and 24 dB per octave—perfect for tailoring the response to different sonic needs. Volume compensation at high resonance settings ensures a stable output signal without dynamic inconsistencies.
Full Control and Flexibility
Behringer SURGES is designed with creative users in mind. In addition to standard filtering, it offers extensive CV control. It features two audio inputs—one with adjustable level—allowing for intentional overdrive and signal shaping. It also includes CV inputs for cutoff frequency, resonance, and FM with a bipolar attenuator. This setup enables not only classic filtering techniques but also experimental modulation and expressive, animated sounds—ideal for modern sound design.
Applications and Use Cases
SURGES is perfect for traditional modular synth systems as well as experimental sound projects. Use it to create powerful basslines, modulated synth sequences, filtered samples from external sources, or ambient textures. Electronic musicians, sound designers, and live performers will appreciate the precision and modular compatibility of the module. Thanks to its Eurorack format, it's easy to integrate and automate using sequencers or trigger modules.
