I'm in. Can one ever have enough filters?
Well, I guess that goes for all modules...

Thomas

1) Does anybody own a Korg MS-20?

2) The reason I ask is that for years, it contained a "secret potted module"
that nobody knew what was inside. Err....until today!!!

It turns out that a simple, 1U wide MS-20 filter with 3 controls (Cutoff, Q,
and MOD DEPTH)
and 4 jacks (IN, OUT, 1V/OCT IN, VARIABLE IN) could be whipped up in no
time. Cost
would be $89, same as EG kit! (BTW: this is about as cheap as I can make a
kit and at
least break even).

The circuit is easy to build (a single-sided pcb is all thats needed). I
don't have a MS-20,
but lots of folks love the "Korg Twang".

Any interest???

Paul Schreiber

I WANT 2!!!!!
Yes, I have a MS-20. Would this be both the low / high pass serial combo as in
the MS-20 or just one of them?

Sure Paul,

In my limited experience, it seems that the filters seem to be the one
single element that makes the biggest difference in sound in a synth with a
fixed architecture (well other than modulation routings). So, it seems to
reason that having different types of filters would broaden one's modular
pallet.

So, count me in. I think I will require one of every filter you make and
two of the ones I get, use and really like. I like the sound of my MS-20.
But, I like the filters better in my Micromoog.

Sounds great! The more filters, the merrier!

I don't know the MS-20 but any (good) $90.00 filter is a bargin!!!!! As
everybody else has said, I'm in at least for one.

The only reservation I have about this is (selfishly) that I'd love to see
more exotic filters (ie,with VC Q, a state variable filter, and a variable
slope filter -- am I just dreaming here?), so I hope this won't limit your
future filter selection, but it does seem like it would be very popular.

Suggestions for features:
1) Have the MOD DEPTH knob go positive in the clockwise direction, negative in
the CCW direction, and zero at 12 O'clock -- I really like this feature!!!!!
2) Dave mentioned HP and LP on the MS-20 (?), maybe a switch between LP - BP -
HP.

i think its a very good ide,i think it well be great to make some
low price moduls like it ,i would like some low price vca's,vcf and
even a low price vco .

thanx
