Synth Diy Guy Goes Full Rave with the Joranalogue Flow 3 Filter

Joranalogue’s Flow 3 isn’t just another filter in the Eurorack jungle. Synth Diy Guy wastes no time pointing out its ace-in-the-hole: a built-in envelope generator and envelope follower, letting the filter track your signal’s amplitude or respond to triggers. Forget fiddling around with external envelopes and followers – this thing’s ready for action straight out of the box.

The module’s controls are stripped back but lethal: frequency, resonance, decay, and trigger. There’s even an envelope output for sending that juicy envelope elsewhere in your system. Don’t let the simple interface fool you – under the hood, the Flow 3 is ready to react to whatever chaos you throw at it. If you want your filter to dance to your patch’s groove, this is your weapon.

Three outputs – low pass, band pass, high pass – mean you’re not locked into one flavour of filtering. Synth Diy Guy patches all three, twisting between mellow low end, acid squelch and glassy high pass, sometimes even running them in stereo for some head-twisting modular imaging. The Flow 3 doesn’t just sit in the mix; it shoves its way to the front.

He’s quick to show how each output brings its own attitude, especially with some resonance dialled in. The band pass can get properly gnarly, while the high pass is crisp enough to cut through a toaster-fight drum jam. If you’re bored with single-output filters, this module’s got the palette for your next sonic street weapon.

Here’s where Synth Diy Guy gets truly unhinged. The Flow 3’s auto mode lets the filter track amplitude for dynamic, evolving timbres – just pump an LFO, envelope or sequence into the VCA and watch the filter open up as things get louder. Want more control? Flick it to manual and smack it with external triggers for percussive filter pops, or randomise decay and resonance with a chaos module. It’s like giving your filter a double espresso and telling it to improvise.

Whether he’s pinging the resonance, FM-ing the cutoff or slamming the filter with sequenced triggers, the module’s envelope output gets routed all over the shop. And for the diehards, there’s even a moment where the Flow 3 self-oscillates and goes full sine wave. It’s a DIY playground, and every patch is an excuse to push the envelope – literally.
