Elektron Musical Instruments

okay... i just checked out some mp3´s from that midibox sid. and i was
really impressed especialy by that one : 

=========

http://www.midibox.org/midibox_sid/mbsid_v1_5_filter.mp3

discription says : This example demonstrates the new filter driver of
software engine v1.5 which improves the quality of the 8580
significantly. First you will hear the 6581, thereafter the 8580!

=========

now i am curios if i could get that nice sounding filter ? i think i
could get me a 8580 somewhere but what about that filter driver? 

is there a way to realize that on the station?
