MOTM

Hi All -

I pointed some folks to www.synthtech.com/demo because I thought 
there were a couple of my 480 demos up there.  Nope, my bad.  I 
posted two here in the files section.  These are a bit weirder than 
what's on the syhthtech site.

I *really* like the 480.  It's a big, hulking, intimidating filter 
until you spend some time with it.  Then it becomes a very good 
friend.  The fact that there's two filters in there makes for some 
really cool stereo possibilities as I hope these demos show.  Also, 
the tone is not as tame as some people have implied.  Yes, it's not 
a nasty 485, but it does spit it's own venom when angered.

Hi Mike,

now we're talking!  ;-)

I've two 485 on order, the 480 might complement them?

Do you care to elaborate the patches?

Thanks a lot, Michael.

Hi Michael -

I think that it would be great to have both filters in a rig.  They 
do compliment each other in a certain way - they both have a 
Yamaha 'sound' but the 485 can be a lot rougher sounding.  I would 
get two 485s for max versatility.

About the patches: it was a while ago and I don't keep notes, so the 
exact particulars are, um, lost to history.  But basically I used 
the two sides of the filter independently with a VCO & modulation 
feeding one side and a different set feeding the other.  The VCOs 
shared a CV source, tying the patch together.  As I recall the 
patches were pretty standard VCO-VCF-VCA stuff with some modulation 
of the VCF via EGs and LFOs thrown in.
