Flexibility is the main thing I like. Controls for the input gain, controls for the gain between filter stages, controls to add imperfections between the exact tuning of each stage, controls to change each stage's type, controls for the gain in the feedback path (resonance), controls for where the feedback is inserted back into the overall architecture, controls for clipping and other nonlinearities in the feedback path and then controls for the output stage. This is the sort of thing that you can fiddle with in something like reaktor and even with no zdf you'd be amazed at how much you can change the overall quality of the filter.

We shall see orchestral machines with a thousand new sounds, with thousands of new euphonies, as opposed to the present day's simple sounds of strings, brass, and woodwinds. -- George Antheil, circa 1925 ---
