I'm not doing any demos, I have the synth well-patched at this point and I'm not breaking it down until I've finished these songs, but I will say this: If you're looking for dual resonance peaks you should go for a pair of 420s. They're excellent filters, but you won't be getting the strongest configuration. Here is how I think of mine: - 410: More of an effect/processing filter. - 420: Workaday, quality filters. Versatile. Maybe not very distinct. - 440: Mammoth bass lines, but so so so much more. Honestly, I try it in every patch. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it's just so unique. It can have a very 'woody' quality to it. That is, it lends itself to naturalistic sounds ∗and∗ harsh synth sounds ∗and∗ earthy bass. - 480: I thihnk of this as my funky filter. Modulating the resonance gives some very interesting timbres. This has the most personality... it's the most distinct in my opinion. - 485: The low pass is a bit dull, but I love using these in sequence with other filters to lend a sound an edge. - 490: Much maligned and unjustly so. Not distinct, but while my M3Xs are supposed to be minimoogy, and they are, sometimes this can't be beat. Put some delay on it and you have some great bass sounds. In short, I'd pick up a 440 & 480 on the used market and build a pair of 420s. I've owned eurorack, too, and to my ear the synth tech filters are the most distinct, character-driven filters around. What a joy it is to make music with these. Now back to the studio where I'm working on a completely unmodular song (with heaps of analog). cheers, eric f --- On Thu, 2/19/09, argitoth <argitoth@...> wrote: From: argitoth <argitoth@...> |
