Re: MC-909 and the MP-7

Don't forget that I mentioned how to use "crossfade" to let you 
controll resonance in realtime. It works well, but needs an 
additional layer. When you've set two layers, each with no resonance, 
the other with max, you just route the resonance knob to controll 
crossfade instead. Now you can controll resonance, in realtime.

but it only works with the analogue style filters.
