Resonant EQ - reply for Bakis

2006-05-07 by Zoran Bosnjak

Hi Bakis,

the resonant equalizer is one of the best Serge modules, at least according 
to AH archives. I assume it is equivalent of a very good quality mixer eq. 
You can read about the Serge one here:

http://www.serge-fans.com/wiz_filt.htm

IMPORTANT: I am NOT suggesting to clone Serge design here. I am not talking 
about sounds-sculpting tool, as Serge one looks to be. I imagine much 
simpler thing, with controls for hi, mid and low frequencies only. I simply 
need good equalizer for my synth sequences, cause I create all these 
beautful breathing sequences on MS-20, that could enormously benefit from 
enhancing mid-range frequencies. One could say: how come you can't do that 
on MS-20? Well, for some reason (and this happened more than once), the 
richest sub-harmonic setting (smooth and velvety - sorry, I am not bragging, 
that's simply what MS-20 version 2 is capable of) needs to have mid-range 
frequencies cranked up. You go for the mids on MS-20, and you lose beauty 
(the sound becomes somewhat harsh). Put my ugly Gemini DJ mixer into 
equasion, by increasing mids, and the results are extremely pleasant.

Of course I can keep on using that Gemini mixer. Cause it is optimized for 
dance music, I guess they set the eq's on it perfectly for my needs (funky 
techno). But it would be cool to have good mixer strip on modular itself. I 
have been hunting for decent old analog desk, but haven't had luck so far. 
And the size factor is the problem. I guess I would rather have one module 
instead of giant desk, that takes 1/3 of the valuable studio surface.

And that resonant attribute is certainly intriguing...

Regards,

Zoran
