Ignorance Isn't Bliss!

2002-03-02 by mbedtom@aol.com

My curiosity has been piqued by recent posts on two different subjects.

Specifically, what are typical characteristics of a fixed filter bank 
section?  I admit that I thought a FFB was merely an early graphic equalizer 
but others seem to indicate they are not.  How do FFBs sections differ from a 
conventional graphic equalizer section?  What sort of "Q" do such filters 
use?  A Moog 907A employs 8 band controls with a low-pass and a highpass 
section.  Do the low/high-pass knobs adjust the cutoff frequency of the 
filter networks or the processed/unprocessed mix?

What is a "super-saw"?  If I were to see one on an oscilloscope, what would I 
see?  Sound-wise, is there much similarity between a "super-saw" and 
hard-sync (of saw-VCOs)?

This diverse group is great because of the vast experience that has been 
collectively obtained!  Many thanks in advance for the replies.

Cheers!
Tom Farrand
