ABOUT The second Sherman Filterbank is a bit more extended, sounds a bit different but basically it is enhanced (midi, etc.) and in fact it is a very flexible filter which is very close to be a synth (it's only the OSCs missing)..
ABOUT Die zweite Version der Berühmten Sherman Filterbox ist gegenüber der ersten nocheinmal etwas überarbeitet worden. Sie klingt recht rauh und bietet sieht umfrangreiche Filtermöglichkeiten inkl Midi. Eigentlich fehlen ihr nur Oszillatoren, um ein sehr interessanter Synthesizer zu sein..

DETAILS
SOUND filtering drumloops, voices or as part of a modular system, nicely for evil things CAN sound rough! - sherman calls the users abusers, so.. guess what - this thing is great!
SOUND filtern von grooves, als modularsystem-teil, für fieses und böses
SOUND
VERSION double and single version in a rack and as desktop, the QMF (quad filterbank) is sold out and was limited to 95 QMFs made. Filterbank 1: same but less switches so it is lots of features less in here sounds a bit more rough
VERSION es gibt rack und desktop versionen, eine doppelversion sowie die QMF (95 Stk davon wurden gebaut).. die Filterbank 1 wird auch nicht mehr gebaut und hatte einige Features weniger (weniger Schalter)
VERSION
Sherman Filterbank II
not german, but from belgium! ;)
after the very charismatic filterbank 1..
basically the sherman fb2 is a synthesizer without oscillators!
maybe a nice DIY project could make this machine a real charsimatic synthesizer?
maybe add a nice small mfb synth to drive it.. ;)
btw: I have never seen such a good manual with so many examples and really easy!
and: hmm, cute! really.. as cute as the "VCA-man" in the ms20 manual

FM and AM! "distortion" by overdriving the input!
filter sounds quite rough "british" ms20'ish!.. but it never sounds "bad". but it CAN SOUND EVIL! ;)
you have 2 independet filters both sweepable from LPF to BPF to HPF! also there is a nice knob for adjusting the filters called anti mix correction.
here you can have non symmetric bpfs ,lpfs and hpfs.. so this makes another "kind" of filter characteristics.. (eg: a hpf that still lets some bass freq. pass through)..

you can connct averything to the sherman, there are even 3 midi thru! (makes sense)
all is CC controllabe via midi but you also got the envelope out and trigger in. FM and AM in!
you can control the second AR envelope, too by external

see the harmonics knob? here you can set the second filter to be a static harmonics "generator" for you! this make a lot of sense for drumloops and stuff..
ADSR env and an LFO that max range is audio speed! the lfo has some triangular waves

I did a nice drumloop and shermanized it, you hear FM at audio speed (to the end) and some knob turns..
HEAR SHARMANISM!..

I tested it with a fairly "non phat"-drumloop.. if you set it right, you can beef it up a lot!!!
LISTEN! HEAR!, how it gets more phat (starting with original)..

SHERMAN known or written as Herman Sherman

Herman Gillis from Belgium worked even on a Quad Modular Verison and even sold some of those, the Fitlerbank 1 and later Filterbank 2 are (is) the main product line today. Aaand: all users are abusers by default. the manual is very cute (mouses, dogs and cats show how the filter works). If you like to the Sherman is the first synth witout oscillators..?
