The Rodec Ministyler is a stereo analogue filter module for the 100 Series that combines Sherman’s iconic multimode filter circuitry with aggressive drive, audio-reactive modulation, and full CV control.
Rodec and Sherman have joined forces to bring back the cult filter sound in modular form. The Ministyler offers a stereo signal path, delivering raw, voltage-controllable analogue filtering with a unique twist. Users can modulate the filter frequency and mode via control voltage or by routing the audio signal itself, making it possible to drive dynamic, signal-reactive changes in tone. Frequency Modulation (FM) from the input allows the filter to evolve in real time, while beat-driven or auto-modulated movements unlock rhythmic possibilities rarely seen in stereo analogue filters.
At its core, the Ministyler uses the same Sherman filter topology that made the Filterbank legendary. It allows smooth morphing between low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass filtering, with selectable 12dB or 24dB/octave slopes. The resonance is fully self-oscillating, offering the ability to generate harmonic overtones, screaming filter peaks, or act as a playable sound source when pushed. This gives users both surgical control and chaotic creative potential within a single, voltage-controllable stereo module.
A dedicated drive section adds harmonic richness, grit, and punch, making it ideal for thickening drums, distorting synths, or transforming vocals. The integrated makeup gain ensures no loss of level, and a dry/wet blend control allows for exact parallel processing, letting users blend in subtle colouration or lean fully into rich analogue saturation. This makes the Ministyler not just a filter, but a flexible tone-shaping tool that excels in both performance and production.
Optimised for modular workflows, the Ministyler features comprehensive CV input options and audio I/O designed to match modern modular standards. It behaves as both a reactive performance device and a sound design powerhouse, offering continuous modulation, audio feedback paths, and complex stereo imaging options. Whether used in the studio or live, it unlocks new levels of dynamic control over sound shaping.
Pairing the Ministyler with the Rodec ONE provides a complete portable system for analogue experimentation. Together, they offer a streamlined yet powerful solution for stereo filtering, distortion, and modular signal flow, ready for any creative setting.

The Rodec Ministyler provides a stereo signal path for voltage-controllable analogue filtering, allowing dynamic, audio-reactive modulation and frequency changes that adapt in real time to input signals. This ensures vibrant, evolving sound textures ideal for live performances and studio setups.
Incorporating Sherman's legendary filter circuitry, the Ministyler offers versatile morphing between filter types and slopes, along with self-oscillating resonance. This feature allows users to create everything from subtle tonal shifts to dramatic, harmonic-rich peaks, enhancing creative expression and sound design possibilities.
A dedicated drive section in the Ministyler enriches audio signals with harmonic complexity, adding grit and punch. The dry/wet blend control allows precise parallel processing, enabling users to fine-tune the intensity of the effect from subtle enhancement to aggressive saturation, making it a versatile tool for refining audio textures.
