MOTM format ARP 2600 filter?

2003-10-25 by Robert van der Kamp

Okay, I've touched this subject before, but I'd like to give 
it another try. 

As you might remember, I love the 2600 for its features, but 
especially for its more or less nasty sound. I just read a 
review of the Alesis Ion (a err.... non-analog synth ;), 
that models a couple of vintage filters, one of them being 
the ARP filter. The reviewer is happy with the results. 

So it looks like it is possible to suggest the 2600's sound 
with only a filter. If that is possible, I'd really like to 
have a MOTM format 2600 filter. Any suggestions?

As a side note, I'm confused about the whole 2600 filter 
sound. Afaik, the best sounding 2600's were the ones with 
the Moog ladder filter built it, later to be replaced with 
Arp's own design. If we're talking about that tipical 
(nasal, nasty) 2600 sound, are we talking about the moog 
versions or about the later versions with ARP's own filter? 
I can't imagine a moog filter being nasal and nasty...

Cheers!
Robert
