That "legendary" ladder filter? It looks nice in schematics... I
didn't mind its sound, this is not the worse thing on Minimoog.
I had three, sold them all. Never understood why everybody wants them,
and why even it's copied in other instruments. Nice piece of furniture
and technology, for sure. But why everybody wants to sound like
thousands of other players? Minimoog has rather limited possibilities,
I was disappointed from its concept. No dedicated LFO, VCO sync,
limited audio FM, simple envelopes... Just boring. There are really
more interesting instruments, I still keep my Multimoog. It offers more.
