Showcasing my unique lack of any musical talent whatsoever:

www.synthtech.com/motm/m420

has 6 MP3 files of keyboard pounding and knobs twiddling of the MOTM system
with MOTM-420 MS-20 type filter
(I say type: it is 1 section of the MS-20's 2 filters (HP + LP). The
circuitry is the same topology, with OTA gain
cells replacing the custom OTA cell in the Korg. Other than that, identical,
including "bad" op amps and "bad" resonance
effects)

Notes:

1) Files 1, 2, 3 are overdriven LP mode
2) Files 4 & 5 are HP mode
3) File 6 is LP/Notch/HP. Since the single-section Notch is only 6dB/Oct,
hard to hear. When 2 '420's are cascaded
the effect will be more pronounced.

Recording:

SB16 card, no compressor (I wish my RNC would get here!! It's due next
week). Each file has a
2 sec "dead time" at the beginning as I sprint across the room, leaping over
the 2 cats. There are some
"clicks" as I overdid the cutoff/resonance and went below 20Hz. Other that
that, it's the "standard":

2 MOTM-300 VCO >> MOTM-420 VCF>>MOTM-110 VCA straight into sound card.
