So, how does it compare to a real Moog filter? Does it sound just as good to you?

[AutomaticGainsay]

In my experience, nothing really compares to a Moog filter. : ) That being said, this filter is more like a Moog filter than other non-Moog-but-compared-to-Moog filters I have used. Someone with a 904a compared them and said they were very similar, though.

[PHAEDRIDER]

yes.. it's nice, but you ARE doing the right thing. your future 2600 will crush it.

[AutomaticGainsay]

Well, compared to the dot com modular I have, the 2600 won't be as powerful, but it will make me happier with what it is, how it sounds, and what it does. : )

[Jrayk1]

The thing that make your demos better, is voice (it's not just someone smashing keys, there's a commentary track).

[AutomaticGainsay]

Thank you.  Someday I will do everyone a favor and write out a script instead of randomly babbling!

[Envergure]

There's no need to buy a $450 keyboard; You can get MIDI-to-CV converters for <$200 from both them and other companies.

5:30 nice bass sound

@KaslarProductions the diodes make it resonate differently so the resonance does not affect the other sounds going through the filter

[dustytretch]

@Desmaad I am a massive fan of modcan, but I do not think Marc has much plans of buying a modcan modular, he has said to me he is not a massive modular fan

[Desmaad]

One filter I think you should try out is Modcan's 67b. It has a variable number of poles, from one to eight! That's up to 48db of attenuation! Obviously, it's a beast.

[KaslarProductions]

what the difference (in sound) to the Transistor ladder as opposed to the Diode Ladder filter?

[nodonnel]

bass!!!!

[Voltor07]

I was only saying that if you spend all that money for a modular, why skimp on the keyboard? What you are saying is true, though. ^_^

[omanafire]

You don't have to build your amp around your guitar, why would you build the synth around the keyboard??? Its just a cord. lol seriously though, if all you have is a super basic casio with midi there is not a thing wrong with that. Midi keyboards are so common you can dig them out of dumpsters, thats where I got myne!
