RE: [AN1x] high frequency eq

2002-07-08 by Mikko Sundman

Hello!

I have noticed similar problems from my AN-200, purchased very recently.
I also feel that it might be sounding a bit muddy, like D/A converters would
be worse quality, but I dont really have a change to do a honest compairing.
Anyway, sound is quite digital, it is lacking some analog softness, even
sine sounds a bit sharp.

I have a Waldorf 4-pole filter, I use via AUX to soften AN-200 sharpness.
I dont use cutoff, I just direct part of AN-200 sound via Waldorf, to fatten
and soften it up.
