Doepfer

i'll be devil's advocate:  if we're talking ARP filters, why not go  
all the way and give them SLIDERS!

some of you will hopefully agree that sliders/faders are far more  
ergonomic and ultimately musical than knobs.  when i was forming a  
modular strategy awhile back, i went as far as calling Paul Schreiber/ 
MOTM and asking if he'd be interested in building me a filter box  
with two sets of controls, knobs + sliders, that'd be switchable...  
in essence having two sets of cutoff/Q controls and the ability to  
switch between settings.

sounded pretty cool to me, Paul didn't agree.  ARP's were the first  
'pro' analog synths i had (2 Axxe's + a Quadra) and i'll always miss  
being able to throw the sliders around.

yeah, i know good sliders/faders are expensive and get dirty and all  
that good stuff.... that's why i decided to go Doepfer and wait for  
my fantasy filter box.  still, you gotta admit they're fun.

i love the 'exotic' module threads.. sorry i've nothing else to offer  
at this time

cheers
