Re: [motm] Roland Filter

2001-12-18 by alt-mode

I'll second this.  The Roland filters have a very unique sound.  Even the variations
between the Roland analog products seem to have a basic character of the filter that
seems unique to Roland.  I posted a short review awhile back about the two kinds of
System 700 filters.  They have a unique sound that is not like any of the current
MOTM filters.  Paul has mentioned the importance of filters on the character of a
synth...  This is another one of those "characters".  Now when folks are talking
about Roland filters, they usually mean the TB-303.  I don't know that I would be
that specific.  I think there is something to the character of Roland filters that
applies to all of them.  That would be the "essence" that MOTM should be looking to
provide...IMHO.
