Yes, I think they play a much more important role in the Korg35-based
filter. Tim Stinchcombe has written a 45-page paper on these filters:

I guess, based on my simulations, I don't even care that much whether my
filter sounds just like the original or not. I think it will be a great
filter on its own merits.
