[sdiy] Best Filter: topic at G8

[SRRecords at aol.com]

Obviously the question about which is the best filter is a political  one.  
 
Now, if the Amerikkkan Govt. wasn't set up in the kapitalistic way it was,  
ARP filters would've been better than Moog ones.  But since Moog was on all  
those high-selling records, everyone thought they were the best.  Actually,  if 
you go to Smokinggun.com, you can find govt. documents that prove ARP filters  
were better than Moog, but there was a govt. conspiracy to make everyone love 
 the Moog filter.  That's why the U.S. Govt. funded bands like Yes, ELP,  
Rush, and a whole slew of Moogites.  Imagine, the U.S. Govt investing in  foreign 
bands.  That's not what George Washington wanted in his farewell  address, 
and I quote: "be not inclined to invest in foreign prog bands, no  matter how 
great the incentive for the filters in analog synthesizers, whatever  those 
are..."
 
Look, I said I would have a "few pints" for my friends in  England.  This is 
the result.  All in fun.
 
But to make this on topic-ish, the filters in my new Moog 15 are perhaps  the 
most dreamy and succulent things I've ever heard.  Wow, send that fixed  
filter band into the LPF and you've got paradise....Imagine eating the most  
perfectly cooked steak (or slow-cooked peppered tri-tip), and you're almost  there. 
 What's even better is when I use the oscillators of my new  Wavemakers synth 
to subtly and slowly modulate the PWM or pitch or whatever on  the Moog.  
"heaven isn't too far away" indeed!
