Another winner from Worng! Glowing Orb is a typically uncompromising stereo filter with a beautiful interface and stunning sound.
Manufacturer's description
Glowing Orb is a vintage-voiced, stereo state-variable filter. It takes the SSI2140 filter core (based on the SSM2040 filter, which gives the Prophet 5 Rev 2 its big and beefy sound) and configures it in a -12dB/oct SVF circuit based on the Oberheim SEM design, combining characteristics of two of the best-loved, best-sounding vintage filters in a unique combination.
Of course, a module from WORNG Electronics has to include 21st century features like stereo operation, volt per octave tracking and a gain compensated drive circuit which enables an extraordinarily wide tonal palette.
At 10HP, Glowing Orb is perfect for any size of system, large or small, and packs in just the controls you need to keep things compact while still being incredibly usable, with space around the controls designed for human fingers.
The module features a stereo input, with normalling for mono-to-stereo operation if only the left input is patched. The stereo output switches between sweepable Low Pass/Notch/High Pass and Band Pass filter slopes, on a single output pair to simplify patching.
The Drive circuit increases the input level, introducing asymmetrical soft clipping and eventually hard clipping as the drive amount increases. It simultaneously reduces the output level, meaning you can drive your Orb as hard as you like and not have to worry about using up precious headroom in your system.
Cutoff Frequency and Resonance controls round out the Glowing Orb’s interface, with an attenuverter for Frequency CV Amount and a tuned Volt/Oct CV for Frequency also, allowing for a wide variety of modulation techniques to be patched, from classic envelope and key tracking to pitched resonant pinging.
Like all WORNG Electronics modules, visual feedback to the musician is important so there is an orb which glows proportionally to the filter cutoff frequency. This ensures that you don’t lose track of your patch in dark stages or dim studio lighting when the patch gets deep and complex.
All the features in the world would count for nothing if the sound of a filter isn’t great, and Glowing Orb really delivers in terms of sound quality. The vintage elements react in a non-linear fashion, allowing for beautiful, clean tones, subtle overdrive, through to sonic destruction depending on the Drive level. The tone of the resonance changes as the Drive level is adjusted, from a clean sine at low drive, becoming less dominant as the filter core is driven harder, allowing a myriad of filter tones to be precisely dialled in.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD and Royal Mail for the UK, and for international orders it's either DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS or Royal Mail depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday delivery
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Most orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days if sent on a courier service. Royal Mail services can take a lot longer and are often less secure.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
