Re: 440, the king of all

2003-11-19 by Mike Marsh

Hey Robert -

The 440 is probably my favorite MOTM filter.  It has a 'woody' 
character to it that is alomost acoustic.  The 490 is fatter, but has 
a limited timbre range, IMO.

I dunno about the P5, but my guess is that you would be hard-pressed 
to find a higher quality filter *anywhere*, particularly on a decades 
old synth.  This is the first time I've heard that the 440 was P5-
inspired.  Is this true?

Happy filtering!

Mike
