RE: [motm] Starting with one filter, advise please

The 440 filter does have VC resonance.

I have a -420 and a -440, and I just got the Happy Email from Paul saying
that my -410 kit is on the way. Of the two that I have, the -420 is a little
more flexible because of its three modes (lowpass, highpass, notch), but I
find the sound of the -440 more pleasing.

Neither of the filters I mentioned have voltage-controlled resonance. If you
want to ";liven up VA synth sounds" you'd probably prefer the -440 or the new
-490, since they're four-pole lowpass filters similar to those found on many
"classic" analog synths.
