The 2044 is the clearest filter I've ever heard. It has the best sounding
res-
oscillation in chip form. I mean this chip is crystal-clear. It does not
get
muddy anywhere in the spectrum! Lovely stuff. It's not at all like the 2040
which has a silky smooth Moog sound. The 3320 has more of a standard
ota sound to it, a little thin but still nice.
