Re: Newbie and envelope follower

2001-10-12 by Mike Marsh

Hello Robert, and welcome!

A 410 is a must-have first module.  It has 3 formant-tuned filters 
driven by two LFOs.  Really complex phaser-like effects and round 
fat tone.

I really love the 420.  It has a very distinctive voice, low pass, 
band pass, and high pass mode.  That would be my second choice, but 
note that it is a 2-pole filter!

The next thing I would get is the 440. 4-pole but not moog-
sounding.  It, too, has a unique voice plus voltage control of 
resonance!

From there, the sky's the limit.
