I recommend Serge filters in this order:
VCFQ(X) - Best all around filter, includes VC resonance. I highly
recommend the extended range option as it gives a quadrature oscillator
at low frequencies, great for panning and VCA effects, and costs only
$20 more.
VCFS - I love this filter. I have two. I don't know what it is, but
something about this filter almost seems to add something to the sound,
particularly to multiple oscillators tuned to unison or perfect
intervals. It's very subtle, but beautiful. The catalog says this goes
to 18 dB and my ears confirm this, though I haven't opened it up to see
how many filter stages are there.
VCF2 - Another great filter. I think of this as the original morphing
filter. With control voltages you can essential morph this from low
pass to band pass to high pass modes due to the cascaded filter stages.
