Frequently Asked Questions - Hermippe VCF Blue Lantern
How do I power the Hermippe VCF?
Connect the included 16-pin to 10-pin ribbon cable to your Eurorack case's bus board. Ensure the red stripe aligns with the -12V indicator on both the module and the power bus.
What filter modes are available?
The Hermippe VCF offers three modes: Lowpass, Bandpass, and Highpass. Select the mode using the three-position toggle switch on the panel.
Can I use the Hermippe VCF with external CV?
Yes, the module features CV inputs for Cutoff and Resonance. The Cutoff CV responds to 1V per octave, making it suitable for tracking pitch from your sequencer or keyboard.
What are the dimensions and HP size?
The module is standard Eurorack 8HP wide and occupies 3U of vertical space. Its depth is approximately 30mm, making it compatible with most cases.
How do I clean the module?
Disconnect power, then gently wipe the front panel and jacks with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use water, alcohol, or cleaning solvents as they may damage electronics.
Why is my module not producing sound?
First, verify that the power cable is correctly seated and the case is powered. Check that an audio source is connected to the input and the output is routed to your mixer or amplifier. Ensure the Cutoff knob is not fully closed and the mode is not set to a disabling position.
Can I daisy-chain power from another module?
It is recommended to connect the Hermippe VCF directly to the bus board using its own power cable to avoid voltage drop and crosstalk. Daisy-chaining may introduce noise or insufficient power.
What is the resonance range?
The Resonance control goes from no resonance to self-oscillation. At high settings, the filter will oscillate as a sine wave, which can be used as a standalone tone source.
Is the Hermippe VCF suitable for bass sounds?
Yes, the Lowpass mode with moderate resonance is excellent for shaping bass and kick drum sounds. The 1V/oct CV input allows filter sweeps that track the pitch of your bassline.
Are there any known compatibility issues?
The module is standard Eurorack and works with any Eurorack case that supplies ±12V. Ensure your case's power supply can handle the additional current draw (50mA on each rail). No other compatibility issues have been reported.
