ok; so single (D)CF, post VCAs. eg, mix pre-filter.then, i guess,
another vca to set output level?
in synthedit, it made sense to share a filter to save cpu on a
recent project, but that was pre vca/pan and mix/level.
interested you say there 8 oscillators, whereas i was suspecting
a single osc, with freq/dividing to produce divisions/harmonics.
so this could suggest independent outputs and operation? detuning?
i find the detuning a bit unimpressive, tbh, just semi's, whereas
somethign finer could really fatten things up a bit. and phasemod
and stuff like that...
hey, i haven't seen/used my ex800 (poly1) for some time, so i forget
a bit. wdf, it has it's own character, within what it has.
i'll look for the stuff you mention, but would like something
'from the horse's mouth', eg this group of interested users,
from the circuit-bending viewpoint, for purpose of discussion.
(i ain't going in there messing things up)
my main reference atm is synthedit, which has allowed me to
experiment with things like phase etc. just means i can plug
things in without breaking anything...
