How wide is the notch? Does the FREQ knob set the low end or high end or some other point for this setting? What are the "6 ways" to connect 2 420s? How do FM1 and FM2 affect the filter? Are IN1, IN2 and IN3 all routed through the filter? If so, how do you minimize the filtering to use it just as a mixer? Sorry if this is way too basic for some of you... Todd

Actually, there are 12 ways to connect 2 3 mode filters... Mr. Chroma

But, kind sir, it makes NO difference if you LP + HP or HP + LP. So you eliminate all of the "reverse" cases! Paul S. thinking in the frequency domain -----Original Message----- From: Dave Bradley <daveb@...> To: motm@onelist.com <motm@onelist.com> Date: Friday, May 14, 1999 10:07 AM

True, kind sir, but you miss my point. Take your six cases, then throw into the mix hooking the two filters up either in SERIES or PARALLEL. Gives you totally different sounds! Mr. Chroma thinking in the patchcord domain

Two 2 pole LPF in series, tuned to the same frequency = one 4 pole LPF. Same for HPF. Sharper cutoff slope, different sound. Dave Bradley Principal Software Engineer Engineering Animation, Inc. daveb@...

I'm probably missing something here (what's new?), but can't you just use the inputs as a mixer in the ordinary way take the Lopass output but use minimum Q and maximum cutoff freq. (with nothing at the CV inputs)? Wouldn't this be a simple signal mixer of the type desired? JB

I also remembered that the Minimoog has no provision for AM in the audio range on the VCA, and to get audio AM one needs to modulate the filter CV input with one of the VCOs in the audio range. So maybe you can sell the 420 as a mixer with audio AM capabilities, and as a bonus, a VC filter is thrown in as well. John B. In a message dated 5/14/99 6:02:50 PM, JWBarlow@... writes:

Most filters will affect high frequency signals even if you crank the Freq all the way up. If you are trying to mix midrange audio signals or low frequency control voltages, no problem. Otherwise, you will probably get some interaction. Dave Bradley Principal Software Engineer Engineering Animation, Inc. daveb@...
