Subject: fixed filter bank! yay!

From: celesteh@...

Oft I had requested a fixed filter bank and now I see that it is one of
the new panels. yay!

I was reading the description, tho, and I'm not 100% clear on the
behavior. The desc says that it's not like a graphic EQ, but then goes on
to state that all the knobs set at 10 sounds just like a wire.

I was under the impression that filters were not flat, they created bell
curves around their center frequencies, so not everything in the freq
range was filtered equally. So a FFB, with everything set at 10 would not
sound like a wire (vs an EQ, which would), but would instead sound like a
whole bunch of bandpass filters so that the center frequencies would all
be emphasized and the sound would be colored by passing through the FFB.

So, colored or not?

Also, anybody in the SF Bay Area planning on ordering one?

thanks,
celeste
