Hi Romeo
.
there is some similarity between resonance & bandwith in that
they both narrow/expand the freq. spread that the filter is working
on , but resonance tends to make a less uniform slope to the shape of
the filter. More resonance tends to make the actively processed area
narrower in bandwidth . The vc slope & vc bandwidth filters seem to
have sensibly chosen resonant settings , plus you can create your own
resonance by feeding the output back in to some degree(feeding the
signal thru in a feedback loop. you can also use two filters in
series , or in parallel , to increase db per octave cutoff , double
resonant peaks etc. Hope my layman speek makes sense .
Also on the 24 db per oct. debate - Are'nt there several 1 v
per o. filters available from a multitude of sources ?
oscillate wildly
P.K.
