Huh?? The Technosaurus triple resonant filter is not an simple
EQ. It's a resonant VCF x 3. So it's like using several VCFs in
parallel. Each band has it's own CV input so you can do cool things
like using different rate LFOs (kinda like the 410), or EGs, or audio
rate VCOs as modulation sources. If it were just a parametric
EQ I'd be yawning, as I have good EQ on my console as well as
outboard. Multiple filters are cool. Especially when you start
mixing them in parallel and in series.
