why do you find using a filter to add character to a sound weird? A lot of people go out of their way to get a specific filters' sound.

i don't like the idea of just adding a filter as an expensive component to instantly add some undefinieable mojo, or vintageness.

i mean, it works, but for me I think a machine works best as part of a network.

hard to explain what i mean.

You've developed 'modularitis'?

maybe a bit.

i think the idea applies to any syntheisis system though.

i'm mainly having an issue with the idea of just using a filter as a generic "put stuff thru this to make sound 'better' " kind of thing.

it works, i can't deny that. but i feel there is life to filters and musc machines in general, beyond just aiming for this generic 'good' or 'vintage'.

maybe i'm full of sh!t. who knows.
