Just wondering if Paul will come out
with an old Moog syle 8 or 12 band
fixed filter bank with passive R/C
networks being set up w/
discrete trasistor pre amp and output
stages. I'm working on one now myself
because I have a Bruel & Kaejer 1/3
oct filter bank from 1959 all passive
but I can only "dial" one band at a time
and modification would be a pain in the
ba-zoo. By the way ....I love my dark
star and feed it through MOTM 420s' and the
big old B&K filter bank to get a tree
full of locust bugs singing @ 1250 Hz peak
band pass freq. selection. - Awsome for
some of my more ambient music compositions.
I have a modular rack that is 2 1/2 feet tall
8 1/2 " deep and the obvious 19" across with
custom made modules from my head and from
schematics of various synth manuals and
electro-notes. Bernie is so freakin' uptight
when people post that stuff on the net! oh well....
I digress on this comment. I just like fixed
filter banks because You can get a small
band or "cluster" of related tones and once I
heard the things a very tight narrow band pass
function can do (i.e. fixed filters in paralell)
w/ pot control per band- it was love at first
tweak- feed white noise or ring mod garbage in
and then get a really warm cluster of tones
out from turning up just a couple bands and
experimenting! nice. I do some real ambient
stuff and some other more Skinny Puppy cyber-punk
music too - Gary Numan is a fave too.
Ummm - Skinny Puppy = not to be confused with
the more esoteric group "Chubby Kitty" he- he OK
OK - !!!! bad joke..- , so sue me.....
Ta- William Hanson.
