The Crumar Spirit would fit perfectly so that one is OK.

The Korg 700 has a HPF + LPF combination (called "Traveller") but no dedicated multimode filter

It doesn't matter that it hasn't got a 'dedicated' band-pass filter since one is made out the existing LP and Hp filters. It works a treat.

While the Korg MS-20 has a resonant HPF and resonant LPF in series it does not include a dedicated Bandpass filter (i know that you could "emulate" it with using both the HPF and LPF...).
You don't emulate it, you really have it, right there: LPF+HPF = BPF.

The Korg implementation with separate LP+HP cutoff points is much better than the 'dedicated' BPF with a single band-pass cut-off as it allows for a wider range of band-pass filter timbres.

To make a long story short i finally found fun in using both BPF and HPF for monophonic sounds, especially Lead sounds. The ability to do those with a real analog synth is even more fun IMO...
I've always loved BP filters (especially those Korg ones). It's easy to get some cool formant-like sounds. This works even better with some overdrive.

While the MS-20 filters have their own distinct sound which i also like how the "fixed" BPF in the Pulse 2 sounds. Like most BPFs it sounds better or more interesting with Resonance added (could be turned up until self-oscillation).

After official release i'll try to post examples of the different filters in the Pulse 2. At the moment posting audio demos is not allowed.

I'll start a new thread after official release and try to add demos and infos there ASAP (including at least two "blank" posts for having more space for additions). I'll also try to use some infos already posted here.


BTW it looks like the first post from the OP of this thread was also his last one...
