Mr. Phil Ter isn't the smartest name for a module that has an envelope generator, VCA, and a filter in it. Well, Cre8audio never claimed to be smart. Mr. Phil Ter, or Phil as they affectionately call it, is a module that does a whole bunch of analog and digital stuff, in not a lot of HP. Phil's digital bits are solely comprised of the envelope generator, for your envelopy pleasure. The analog bits, developed in partnership with the ultra-serious folks at Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers (a very serious synthesizer company) and are comprised of a voltage controlled amplifier circuit (VCA) as well as an extra juicy old-school transistor ladder filter, perfect for those of you who are not afraid of ladders or transistors. (personally, we're terrified of them). Anyway, pair Mr. Phil Ter up with any oscillator or crank up its own filter section's resonance and self-oscillate, get crazy. He's just what the doctor ordered to complete (or not) any synthesizer voice.
