The problem with a fixed filter banks for me is experimenting with bandwidths. You have to manually adjust each adjacent band carefully to get the correct effect and that can be cumbersome. I prefer bandpass filters with resonance controls. I use three A-121 Multimode filters to

For me the answer is how it sounds. I confess I'm not super technical but I can tell you that each waveform of the M15 is rich and smooth sounding in a way unique to it. Add the morph and a few other functions and it has it it makes it a really nice VCO. The A111 & A110 have thei
