Filter design musings...

[Martin Fay]

I've been playing with some digital filter algorithms for my synth 
simulation program and this thought occured to me:

  The character of a filter is more dependant on the nature of the 
  resonance response (i.e. feedback loop) than the cutoff slope.

For instance my late-model Odyssey has a fairly narrow resonance 
bandwidth, while a BassStation has a much wider bandwidth, and they 
end up sounding very different.

What do you all think?
