Gregg,

The Omni is a OTA-based filter - the uber version of the original
Filter made for the 300 Series system.

My favorite Wiard patch uses soundsources (VCOs, etc.), through a
Boogie LP/HP filter pair AND the Borg2 as the VCA(lowpass gate).  I
think that the possiblities of this filter combo is staggering.  (Or
is it this bottle of Jack Daniels sitting next to my system?)

I then add the Omni in allpass filter for some animation, and then
send the sound through 4 Borgs in VCA mode, controlled by a JAG for
multichannel location.

Using all of these vactrols in the patch removes any dc in the signal,
and the sounds have a lovely musical edge to them.

So, IMHO, yes - having a Borg2 and a Boogie is not redundant - in
fact, it is quite a useful pair of modules that I find using together
very often.

Gary
