Subject: Siel DK 600 and other poly synths from the good old days

From: "spaceanimals" <alciere@...>

I love my AN1X, but the old Siel had a clav patch that I used on
every song. I finally found the sound on the AN1X, but I'm not sure
how I did it. I went to preset 55, set it to morph, and moved the mod
wheel until I hit the right spot. I don't remember if I tweaked that
preset before morphing. Wonder is another good clav preset, one of
the few presets I've kept.

Speaking of polysynths, Waldorf's website has some nice information
on filters. Go to their Micro Wave synth page and click on more
information. Waldorf explains why polysynth filters are less
aggressive than mono synth filters, how the high pass filter gives
the old Junos their classic sound, etc. The Micro Wave has an
accuracy switch that adds little random variations to emulate the
instability of the old synths. I wish they would come up with a
switch to get that hot wire smell from the old Hammond organs.
