So there's nothing going on like gating/squelching the resonance feedback?<br><br>
In a lot of soft synthesizers, especially old 303-like ones, there's a
control for squelch or similiar, which makes the filter more squelchy,
and sound more like a 303 (to my ears). What do these generally do? Do
they clip the feedback, make the cutoff envelope affect the q, or
something entirely different?<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Actually the 303 filter does not have a very high Q
at all, it can not self oscillate like the moog ladder, the squelchiness is
caused by the envelope sweeping (or as is popularly called "spanking") the
Q (amongst other things). The thing with the 303 that sets it apart from
everthing else is the quirkiness of the design, there are a lot of "flaws" which
cause it to behave in certain ways. I love the sound personally, since it
is SO different from conventional synth design, hence the reason why it is
VERY difficult to emulate the 303 successfully using another synth.</font></div></blockquote></div>
