Re: Wiard Filter + Serge/TONTO

>What do others think of the Serge VC filters?


I only have the VCFQ and my thoughts are that its VERY clean - pristine
actually. I think it excels when attempting
to emulate 'real' acoustic sounds and with some help from the Res EQ and
Phaser I can get into King Tubby 'flying hi-hat'
territory using the Hi-Pass out. Not so good at bubbly, deep acidic sounds.

But I like the VCFQ because it gives my Serge a unique sound. I'm glad there
are no STS attempts at a 'Moog-style'
or 'SEM style' filter... I like my synths to have their own individual
character. I would like Rex to do his own 24db filter though - just not
in the style of any other manufacturer.

When I do need a deliciously warm bottom end for bass sounds I use Serge
NTO's but route them into my Minimoog's filter.
It's the closest I can get to the amazing bottom-end on the Tonto's
Expanding Headband's 'Zero Time' album. I believe this was also a Moog/Serge
combination or did Serge's involvement come later in the 70's??

Does anybody know what modules Serge designed for TONTO and when? Was it
more stable VCO's?
