Re: [motm] VC Resonance: is it that useful?

2014-01-26 by Aaron Day

VC of the 440 res has been tool of mine for years–perhaps not in the intended way however. 

Applying an LFO to the filter with ƒc set fairly high turns the filter into a strongish vca/dynamic eq


We needed something for the intro and middle solo fingerpicked guitar part. 

Depending on the program material it can produce a nice 3d sea-sickness throb.

Future MOTM filters need VC resonance. Please please.

Greetings from Berlin.

Thinking ahead to new filter designs.......

Both the '440 and '480 have VC Resonance inputs. But, and let's be honest:
are they *used* all that much? One filter more than the other?

Doing this adds cost/board space that I could use elsewhere.

The only patch that comes to mind is adding a Velocity to Res, so that the
harder you play, the more resonance you have. But I think 95% of modular
owners do not 'play' them that way.

Thoughts?
