[sdiy] stringfilter

[Dino Leone]

I've been looking again at JH's stringfilter webpage as I do once 
every other week... ever since I became obsessed with that idea of 
adding some "organic" quality to the sounds (as he puts it):
http://home.debitel.net/user/jhaible/jh_string_filter.html

Now I finally had this idea (not a very clever idea in fact...) to 
run my MOTM through the parametric equalizers that are built into 
Logic since these are the only such EQs available to me.
After setting peaks to emulate the main wood and air resonances of 
violins or violas I was rather disappointed in the results; although 
the addition of these formants does add some vague hints of "stringy" 
character to the sounds, it's miles and miles from what JH's demos 
sound like.

So, I wanted to ask you guys about any tricks and equipment that 
would make such an endeavor more successful?

Are there any schematics out there that would allow building of 
parametric EQs to add to a MOTM system?

At first I was thinking a fixed filter bank would help, but then I 
realized this would only help if the fixed bands were exactly at the 
right frequencies for the desired resonances (which they're usually 
not... sigh)

Any comments would be very much appreciated!

With Best Wishes
