I have always preferred the sound of a sweeping highpass filter over a
lowpass. It really jumps out at you if you use it in a song. The highpass in
the MS-20, if I remember correctly, is in series with a lowpass, so no
matter how high you turn the cutoff for the low, your still only hearing a
bandpass. Don't forget, though, if your output waveform's phase is 180
degrees off from your input to the filter (inverting output), then mixing
the output of the filter with an equal volume of the original signal would
cancel the passband and turn a lowpass into a highpass or a highpass into a
lowpass.  Anyway - in summary,  I would suggest a highpass, especially if
your only experience was with the Korg MS-20's filter.

P.S. I'm not in any way putting down the MS-20. I absolutely love that synth
along with the MS-50.
