Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Differences between the VFX and SD-1

2010-03-16 by Jon Carroll

That's pretty much what i am looking for / doing- an affordable resonant low 
pass filter that i can envelope and trigger the envelope from a MIDI 
trigger. The Waldorf X-Pole and Sherman filters are a little pricey for me 
to use on a VFX (A $500+ filter on a $150 VFX would be kinda funny). I've 
done some experimenting with doing it in my DAW but i'd prefer a filter. I 
may end up building a little analog lowpass filter as a side project just 
'cause.
