I'll second this. The Roland filters have a very unique sound. Even the variations
between the Roland analog products seem to have a basic character of the filter that
seems unique to Roland. I posted a short review awhile back about the two kinds of
System 700 filters. They have a unique sound that is not like any of the current
MOTM filters. Paul has mentioned the importance of filters on the character of a
synth... This is another one of those "characters". Now when folks are talking
about Roland filters, they usually mean the TB-303. I don't know that I would be
that specific. I think there is something to the character of Roland filters that
applies to all of them. That would be the "essence" that MOTM should be looking to
provide...IMHO.
