This is interesting and makes things much clearer though a bit
complicated. So it is likely that I could at least try to emulate
the small upper solo keyboard of the GX1 with 3 X 485 and 1 X 475.
What is not clear to me is: are only pulse and saw filtered? Does
the main filter get the audio signal only from the BP one? What
happens to the other waveforms (if they are present)tri and sine, do
they pass through unfiltered? Why whenever i listen to GX1
recordings I get the impression that the solo keyboard is
timbrically a lot different from the two main polyphonic keyboards?
Can you (crow)draw a simple patch (just the connections of course,
not the settings) we could use on our MOTM modular to configure an
audio path like the GX1 solo keyboard? I think the solo in
ELP's "Watching over you" with that "mouth harp like" sound has been
performed on the GX1 monophonic solo keyboard.
Last obvious thoughts: we are lucky someone did reverse engineer
these beautiful filters and someone else is letting them get
available for our small (not too small actually) community.
