So, it seems Moog have taken a shortcut as well, to get this "other” filter response?<br>
<br>
OTOH, the Moog 904B is a true HPF but with no resonance control.<br>
Is there a practical reason for that?<br>

Resonance works with the 904B, but since the cutoff is increased as the transistor non-linearity is hit it's a good idea to limit the feedback signal before it gets sent to the input of the filter. In a regular moog ladder the cutoff is decreased with the non-linearity. I've modelled a resonant Moog high pass filter in my plugin The Drop, it's called PRD HP.</div><div><br></div><div>The Moog Ladder 500 module looks like the real deal. It has a hp / lp switch, and 12 / 24 dB slope selectors, so I'm guessing this is a proper moog high pass. I would love to see the schematic for it since the topology of the two filters is quite different - they may just have two entire whole filters inside - which would be a shame since you can't use them both at once to make a mega bandpass filter.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Andy</div></div></div></div>
