As an owner of an XL-7 and and Ultra 4, I can say that your opinions
on filters are a bit strange.  The XL-7 filters are barely passable,
and for some needs very sad.

I love my XL-7 but its rather weak filters (no ability to change
resonance after note on, questionable cutoff curves, etc) are the
thing I would most like to see changed.  You want to talk about old
technology?  The filters in the XL-7 are no better than the ones they
shipped on the Ultra Protues / Morpheus in what, 92?  Not even as good
if you take into account that there are fewer filter types.

I love my XL-7 to death, but its filters are a joke.  If I need a
sound that if filtered, I don't use the XL.

The E-4 Ultra filters are much better.
