<DIV><FONT size=2>I have always preferred the sound of a sweeping highpass
filter over a<BR>lowpass. It really jumps out at you if you use it in a song.
The highpass in<BR>the MS-20, if I remember correctly, is in series with a
lowpass, so no<BR>matter how high you turn the cutoff for the low, your still
only hearing a<BR>bandpass. Don't forget, though, if your output waveform's
phase is 180<BR>degrees off from your input to the filter (inverting output),
then mixing<BR>the output of the filter with an equal volume of the original
signal would<BR>cancel the passband and turn a lowpass into a highpass or a
highpass into a<BR>lowpass. Anyway - in summary, I would suggest a
highpass, especially if<BR>your only experience was with the Korg MS-20's
filter.<BR><BR>
