I have been wondering for a while what makes the Moog fixed filters so
special in comparison to those of some other manufacturers. For
instance, I have a Synthesizers.com fixed filterbank, and I am very
pleased with how it sounds. Some people who know, say they hear
differences, which I don't really hear.
A friend of mine has a modular Moog with an (extended range) fixed
filterbank. Although we never compared the two side by side, I can't say
the Synthesizers.com sounds worse in comparison. It seems that some
manufacturers go to great length to emulate the Moog filterbank in detail,
to mimic the sounds of inductors, or whatever (sorry, I am not at all
technical
![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
So it must be that I am missing something. Would some one like to
explain, please? Especially what it does to the sound when you use
inductors, and when using another type of electronics.
Cheers,
Ruud
