Filters: subjective opinion required

2001-07-03 by Mark Deal

I'm looking to spoil myself rotten for my birthday and buy some new modules.

Amongst other things, I'm considering an A122 low pass VCF (Curtis chip
based) and a A123 high pass filter.

Is the A122 worth having? Clearly the sound is going to be substantially
different from a transistor ladder based design, but does it sound GOOD? I
tend not to use large amounts of resonance in my music, so if this filter
excels at resonant sounds but is pretty characterless otherwise I'm not
particularly interested.

I already have a Multimode filter, but am also interested in a dedicated
high pass filter, but only if it offers me something sonically different.
How does the A123 perform? I find the multimode to be quite 'lumpy'... It
doesn't take much to tip it into self-oscillation. Is this filter smoother?

Comments appreciated!
Mark
