What are you comparing it to?  I've never used the Ultar4, but I was
comparing the filters to the Roland filters which imho truely suck.  There
are quite a few uses for the many filters in the xx-7's.    But not much
else in a computer chip offers the warmth that the xx-7's do.  Maybe we're
looking in different directions... But I have been very happy with them
compaired to what I have used in many other machines (korg, roland,
yamaha)...

peace
