>>Just outta curiosity, though, has the following observation crossed anyone
else's mind: FFB has 11 pots, two for the high-/low-pass filters. With the
same number of pots (and panel space), you could built an EQ module with
high/low shelving bands and three fully parametric bands (each with three
knobs for frequency, bandwidth, and gain).
Personally I think such a module would be more useful than a bank of
fixed-frequency filters, although I realize that they're two different
animals and the FFB has more of a "classic" appeal.<<
Yes, a parametric filter bank is more useful in general, though it's nice to
have both kinds. Since it's apparently not allowed to advertise non-MOTM
stuff for sale/auction on this forum, I'll point out that my Polymoog
Resonator / Parametric Filterbank IS NOT currently for sale at this moment.
But when I get back from California, you might want to keep your eyes open
on the AH list or Moog Forum for it's possible sale. But since this is a
one-of-a-kind stand-alone version I put together after ripping it out of my
Polymoog, some DIY oriented people might just like to see what it looks like
