Don't forget, for the "normal" filters, you need some type of control
source (envelope/lfo/etc), to control the filter sweeps to. At least,
that's what usually makes it interesting. Something to trigger the
control source timely might also be necessary (gate from midi|cv
convertor/envelope follower/sequencer/etc).
The 410 has built in lfo's and is the most "stand alone" filter I
believe. I just built mine, it's SUPERB for the things I tried so far
(nordlead, guitar, Rhodes, kurzweil, obx-a). The Rhodes gave some
problems because I didn't have a midi signal to copy to convert to
1v/oct and drive the sweep input. The bands are quite narrow so a sound
can easily be "out of bounds". This is a luxury problem though.
Also don't forget for true polyphony, you need as many filters as voices
you want to be able to play. In an arpeggio for example, the filters
curves of the different voices are at different positions. "All notes at
once" chords/stabs work fine, arpeggios don't (in true polyphony sense).
For the rest, go for it! All filters are superb!

motm@yahoogroups.comSubject: [motm] Using MOTM modules with other synths
Hello,
I was wondering how many MOTM users have been using the MOTM modules
to process other synths? I am thnking of building a MOTM system but
starting out with the filters first. I am thinking that the various
filters would in essence create a whole new sound out of the synths I
already own. Example: sending a software analog synth through the 440 LP
or sending pad sounds on my Roland JD800 through the 310 for formant
filtering.
I would love to hear comments about this approach from others who have
tried. Thanks
Chad
