A filter bank, the one I'm building at any rate, is basically an analog synth without oscillators but chain-able filters instead. I thought a MS-20 pair, Moog ladder and Crumar state variable would be nice.

You can use any midi keyboard or synth's audio output as a sound (oscillator) source and pump it through analog filters and amps. Using the midi output to trigger a couple of ADSRs to shape the sound. In practice it's like having a polyphonic analog synth with oscillators that have as many waveforms as you have patches. If you can follow that crappy explanation.

Say... plug in a plastic Casio keyboard. As long as it's got midi output to trigger the envelope generators and modulators, whatever patch you have selected goes through a pair of ADSR controlled MS-20 filters being modulated by a pair of multi-wave LFOs into a blistering fast ADSR controlled VCA. Suddenly instead of a crappy little organ sound you've got a poly MS-20 or select the ladder and have a Poly-Moog.... thing...

If you've got something like a ESQ-1 you can go mono, use glide, have velocity to filter and/or VCA, and wheel control of some of the analog circuits ect..

In short, you can extend the sound pallet of any midi capable keyboard into the analog range. Simple saw/square patches work really well but complex sounds are just as good.
This sounds REALLY tasty - interested in pricings etc 8)

can we get some vague pricing info?
so far im in for one stereo beebaa and a filterbank. depending on price and final specs (stereo/mono, filter types and such) could be in for two of the fb.
:ud:

i cant remember if the filterbank was stereo. if it is, and the price is ok, i might be in for one as well.

i'm kind of weighing up a filter bank as well, i need a bee baa more though!!

Post

any word?

And any other takers for getting an Acetone Fuzzmaster 2 on the list?

cheers

the filter does sound interesting.

what would it take to throw in an ms-20 osc :love: :hihi:

Yikes, I hadn't realized Tom was in Houston. Hopefully he and his are out safe and his home doesn't sustain much damage. The floods in Galveston were pretty nasty.
