MOTM-420 (MS-20) filter demo.

2004-01-28 by Robert van der Kamp

Here's a nice demo of my new MOTM-420 filter. The Korg has 
two of these in series (HP -> LP), but I currently only 
have one (second one coming).
 
This demo has three parts:
1. The clean OSC sound (just a few secs).
2. The 420 in LP mode (around half of the demo).
3. The 420 in HP mode (rest of demo). 
 
During the demo I only tweak the filter, if I remember 
correctly. I added a nice delay on the sound in my mixer. 
 
The ultimate kick of course is to use heavy resonance and 
freq modulation on both the HP and LP filters, each at 
different frequencies, or at the same frequency for a power 
boost. 
 
In the second part of the demo, where you hear the 420 in HP 
mode, you hear the high frequencies of the sound coming 
through. To get rid of that part of the sound, you need 
that second LP filter. I tried that with one of my other 
24dB LP filters, but they make the sound too creamy. You 
really need the 12dB MS-20 sound to remove the high content 
and still have that byte in the sound.
 
Of course the mp3 format kills a lot of the deep analog 
content, but it's fun anyway.

Enjoy!
