Sorry, indeed I forgot the env's. See I was just listening to the new
motm PS3100 filter and I thought WOW wish I could just put it in series
with my digi synth like the mp3 example.

I've got a hidden filter type on my Nordlead wich sounds like a notch
filter. It is beatiful (in comb with LFO/env) with pad/string stuff,
sounds ala JMJ Korg strings. If someone doesn't know what the heck I'm
talking about I'll make an mp3 of it.


Thanks,

Paul
