Thanks for your reply.

Yes I really like what I hear from the Omni Filter, it has a nice detailed
smooth liquidy sound.
 A new and different sound which tickles my ears in a nice way :)

I find Moog type ladder filters a bit too syrupy for creating hard
percussive attack type sounds
Even with the resoannce cranked right up,
Moog filters just sound soft and liquidy all the time.
Can the Omni Filter create these types of resonant hard attack tetxures?


Are the VCOs easy to calibrate?
Because I'm not much of techie with these things just yet.


OK so the Wiard is still in production I gather?
