Sure Paul,

	In my limited experience, it seems that the filters seem to be the one
single element that makes the biggest difference in sound in a synth with a
fixed architecture (well other than modulation routings).  So, it seems to
reason that having different types of filters would broaden one's modular
pallet.

	So, count me in.  I think I will require one of every filter you make and
two of the ones I get, use and really like.  I like the sound of my MS-20. 
But, I like the filters better in my Micromoog.
