> Oh.. so you used HP and BP in parallel?
No! That transfer function is simply what you get from the MS-20 filter in
HP mode, because of the way it is organized.
> I thought you wanted HP and LP for notch response.
You do. The "notch" mode of the MS-20 is not really a notch, but just a
flat response with a 6db dip at the cutoff. Again, this is a manifestation
of the transfer function.
Here (again) is the transfer function for an MS-20 filter in HP mode:
s^2 + s
----------------
s^2 + (2-G)s + 1
Here is the transfer function for an MS-20 filter in LP mode:
-1
----------------
s^2 + (2-G)s + 1
Add them together and you get the "notch" response:
s^2 + s - 1
----------------
s^2 + (2-G)s + 1
It's that "s" in the numerator which prevents this from being a true notch.
