Re: Variable Slope Filter?

2007-05-27 by matthew carpenter

Finally tried your strange feedback trick. Very nice. I wouldn't have expected the percussive runs you mentioned. They're pretty punchy, too.

I'll second that. When you turn up the slope the edge is quite
audible. The old manual I have shows a response curve which, when the
filter is adjusted for maximum slope, rises to a small peak before
plummeting downwards. I like that it can easily add aural bite to a
sound without diluting the original character of that sound with a
lot of resonance. Plus, when you back off the slope the response
contour smooths out. It does just what your ear wants to hear (my ear
at least). The most objective thing I can say is that it sounds very
different from the other Serge filters; you won't be duplicating what
you have.

Strange feedback trick:
Some sound -> VCSF In1
VCSF Lo -> Bottom 1/3 of Wave Mult -> VCFS In2
Mix towards the feedback input and depending on freq get odd
percussive runs (with a surprising reverby quality) or very raw edgy
noise. Not suitable for yoga music.
