Now that I said that, let me say this. Whichever filter I get, I
really want to have the ability to do dual resonance peaks. Also, the
filter must have at least two modes: Lowpass and something else. That
means the 490 and 440 are out as it's only a lowpass. The 410 is out
because it's only bandpass. There's nothing in the 480's description
that says it's harsh. The audio demos for the 480 are... kinda boring
(in my opinion, sorry!). That means the 480 is out. That leaves the
420 and the 485. According to their descriptions, they are both on the
harsher side. HOWEVER no audio demos SHOW IT (in my opinion). That's
my frustration! The only way (in my opinion) to reveal a filter's
harsh character is with near-max and max resonance with filter sweeps
with a low-pitch saw at relatively high gain.
I know what you're thinking. "If you haven't heard any audio demos you
like, maybe these filters aren't for you, look elsewhere!" However, I
want MOTM quality more than I want "my perfect filter." I'm willing to
compromise. I don't NEED A-106-1's crazyness. In the future I'll
definitely want to have all MOTM filters. But as for my FIRST
purchase, I do want the MOTM filter with the harshest character.
Finally, let me pose the questions:
1. What filter do you suggest for me?
2. Can you provide an audio demo with my specifications of the filter
you suggest? --- low-pitch saw (two or three octaves below middle C)
of relatively high gain, near-max and max resonance, filter sweeps in
lowpass mode.
