MOTM

Okay,  I was thinking last night:
According to Paul S., the freq controls on the 410's filters pass out of the
audio range aroud the "5" hashmark.  This brings 2 questions to mind:
1.  Are there good uses for having 1 or more filters in the "only dogs can
hear" range?  I've toyed with it a bit & have thus far found little of any
great use there.
2.  What of the idea of changing the value of one or  more pots so that they
leave audio around the "10" hashmark?  Seems it would allow for a touchmore
subtlety.

I've asked before &undoubtedly will ask again:  am I high?

No.

You need that extra swing to bring the filter back into range when doing
heavy modulation from VCOs and other sources, like 2 oscillating filters in
a feedback loop.

Yes.

Actually, I was too hasty. Supersonic oscillating filter chirps modulated
with a sawtooth can provide endless entertainment as your cat tries to climb
into your speaker to kill the hidden bird.

BWAHAHAHA

This reminds me:  on one of the Devo Hardcore records there is a cut with a
sound that causes cats to stare intently at speakers.

being one half of the psychoacoustic soundclash, we had endless fun at a
festival here in sheffield about five years ago. we use a lot of military
surplus electronics (think morse keys, not piano keys) - i think i spent the
entire gig sweeping between about 1Mhz down to 20k or so and back again, not
a huge disturbance from our canine friends, but just enough to make it worth
while
meanwhile (at the other end of the spectrum - heh) at a show at the National
Centre For Popular Music earlier this year, we discovered the resonant
frequency of the bar was around 13Hz - oh joy...

Aren't the beatles supposed to have tarted around with ultrasound on "Sgt
Peppers.." ? anyway, it keeps us industrial types quiet by deluding us into
thinking we're doing something experimental or something...

surely there's nothing more subtle than positions 5 to 10 being beyond the
range of human hearing :-)

That is true *only* if SWEEP is at 5. If SWEEP is at 0, the filters go to
about 12Khz at 10.
