Did you try to process non-electronic sounds
through your filter bank : electric guitar, acoustic
instruments, singing voice... ?

I'm asking because I was wondering : the purpose
of such a filter bank (as said earlier in this thread)
is to give more "thickness" / more lush to synth
string sounds.
OK, but in case of acoustic instruments or human
voice, would it also work ? Or should one experiment
with other techniques, such as a short delay modulated
by a slow random LFO, like in vintage chorus FX using
BBDs...
And what about a random-delays bank, each one modulated
by its own LFO ?
