Analog Sweden SWEnigiser Euro is a new multimode analog filter based on an Orgon Systems Enigiser Synthesizer prototype.
In 2023, Analog Sweden released the SWEnigiser, a clone/replica of the rare and relatively unknown Orgon Systems Enigiser from 1995. What is special about this synth is the circuitry, which has some exciting ideas.
One of the specialties is the filter, which has various configurations and a VCA built in. This is now also available as a Eurorack module.
Analog Sweden SWEnigiser Euro
SWEnigiser Euro is a new 12HP multimode filter + VCA combo based on the circuit of the Orgon Systems Enigiser. More precisely, it’s modeled on a prototype Anthony Linell of Northern Electronics loaned.
The filter offers a unique configuration of 3×4 filter modes, selectable with two knobs. The first selects the mode (1,2,3,4), and the second the filter category, ranging from lowpass, bandpass, notch, and highpass): A – L1, L2, 3, L4, B – N, L2P, L3P, L4P, C – HP, B1, B2, B3.
The module offers two audio inputs with a drive option to the circuit, and once inside, the filter can be controlled with two knobs: cutoff and resonance. You can manually control the cutoff via three CV inputs: two with a CV attenuverter and another tunable to 1v/oct.
Then, there is also the VCA part of the original circuit. The audio input offers a gritty drive out of the box and is normalized from the VCF output. There is a single output but two CV inputs. CV1 is here the most interesting as it offers an offset for creating drones.
Analog Sweden SWEnigiser Euro also has a clip switch that switches between the old and new revisions of Enigiser diode setting for the drive. Here is a sound demo of the module.
First Impression
I like what I’ve heard from the filter so far. Nice and aggressive with character and not very classic. I’m happy to see that less well-known filter circuits are also making it into the Eurorack. More options are always welcome.
Analog Sweden SWEnigiser Euro is available now for 225€ + VAT.
