Great idea Dave! As Moe said, you could do the same thing with the (where do
you get one of those anyway?) VCF Bandpass with VC Width and simultaneous
modulation of VC Frequency -- but it seems less intuitive than having an
upper VC Cutoff Frequency, and a separate lower VC Cutoff Frequency. As I
thought about this patch (DAMN! I need to get a second 420 now!), all I could
think of was "joystick controller!" Might be worth thinking about this type
of deluxe bandpass for a future module.
