[sdiy] Famous Fixed Filters - FFF PCB ?

[Derek Holzer]

Having just spent two days playing with the vintage 200 series Buchla 
system at EMS, Stockholm, I'd have to put in a vote for their fixed 
filter bank, the Programmable Spectral Processor Model 296, as well. 
Totally luxurious, with programmable VCAs for each band as well as 
separate outs and envelope followers for a rough vocoder kind of 
application. The cutoff is amazingly steep, and the individual 
VCAs/channel-outputs are absolutely perfect for formant synthesis, among 
other things.

Curious? Here's some info straight from the source:

I would go to great lengths to have 4 of these in my studio!!!! (Or, as 
some famous Hungarian aristocrat once quipped, "If only I could afford 
the life I live!")

best,
d.
