Hello Dave,<BR>
<BR>
I think you're mistaken about there being a tracking filter in the GR-300. The circuit for each string has a separate fixed-frequency filter which attempts to limit to response of that string channel to just the two octaves (or so) that the string produces. They made no attempt to have the filter frequency track the string frequency.<BR>

It would sure be nice if the GR-300's audio filter actually did track the note you were playing (I'm talking about the resonant filter that you can hear and adjust, not the fixed ones that help the P/V converter do its job). You kind of have keep adjusting and fiddling with the filter cutoff frequency as you play up and down the neck. Otherwise, your sound is alternately too buzzy (for low notes) or too muted (for high ones). Unfortunately, the GR only has one master filter which filters all six strings simultaneously (kind of like a Korg Poly800 or an ARP Omni), so it would be pointless for them to have that filter try track your playing. I guess what I really wish for is a separate tracking filter on each string.<BR>
