MOTM

>>Just outta curiosity, though, has the following observation crossed anyone
else's mind: FFB has 11 pots, two for the high-/low-pass filters. With the
same number of pots (and panel space), you could built an EQ module with
high/low shelving bands and three fully parametric bands (each with three
knobs for frequency, bandwidth, and gain).
Personally I think such a module would be more useful than a bank of
fixed-frequency filters, although I realize that they're two different
animals and the FFB has more of a "classic" appeal.<<

Yes, a parametric filter bank is more useful in general, though it's nice to
have both kinds.  Since it's apparently not allowed to advertise non-MOTM
stuff for sale/auction on this forum, I'll point out that my Polymoog
Resonator / Parametric Filterbank IS NOT currently for sale at this moment.
But when I get back from California, you might want to keep your eyes open
on the AH list or Moog Forum for it's possible sale.  But since this is a
one-of-a-kind stand-alone version I put together after ripping it out of my
Polymoog, some DIY oriented people might just like to see what it looks like
below:

Hello JH,

I'm assumig that's a plot from a real Polymoog resonator.  It's the first
time I've seen an actual plot from one.  A few weeks ago I was running a
JP-8 through my stand-alone version, and  the resonator is good for
everything from turning plain sounding synth strings into hokey vintage
string synth sounds, to getting much more realistic woodwind and brass
sounds, to bass/treble boosting and so on.  I find the bandpass and highpass
modes to be the most useful for most of the above.

Anyway, I'm out of here and out to California tomorrow, so this list and
others shouldn't expect me to answer any posts or email for a little while.
