And she was such a nice girl too <g>. But seriously folks, it's good to see
how people are "assimilated." I'm wondering if it's dealing with MOTM that
makes everyone on the list start craving for VC everything, or is it rather
that those with the craving for elaborate and powerful VC modules are
inevitably driven to MOTM? 1000 MOTM module purchases can't be wrong!

BTW, I think the idea of a VCF with VC bandwidth (I guess this would be VC
slope for a LPF and HPF) would be yet another worthwhile filter project.

>but seriously, i think it would be really great to be able to tune a ffb.

I suggested this when I first used the Moog, but someone reminded me that a
voltage controlled fixed filter bank, would no longer be fixed.
