Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

A poet? Naw... I anthropomorphize my music machines to unhealthy 
extremes... that's all.

The 8-pole is a great leash for the more insane analog gear... it just 
attenuates in much more extreme way.  I've got a Future Retro 777, 
which is a hopped-up almost-a-tb303... many things you can push it to 
do are flat out useless without some external management like this... 
48db/octave, it's just a more extreme way of filtering things.
