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
