Beat me to it! ;-P
I'm already working on some other MB projects.... Seems like an excellent bridge for control over analog circuits - switching, mixers, control surfaces....
The "FFF", a good VCO poly (OB-8 in my case), and a switcher like this, you can have something better than a Polymoog, VP-330, Lambda etc. all combined and switchable by midi!

As my parts stock is low at the moment so I can't really build my Triple Chorus or my other projects, and as I'm trying NOT to think of work over my holidays.... ;-P
I've been turning my mind to the planning stages on some things, and this idea keeps coming up.... Overall, it would be nice to have a few solid string and vocal filters, that way you could feed them with a good poly and mix and match them.
Depending on how "doable" it would be, these would be my faves....
Strings:
Polymoog Vox Humana / Strings 1 / Strings 2
Roland VP-330 Strings (Upper/Lower)
Korg Lambda Strings 1 / Strings 2
Vocal/Choir:
Roland VP-330 (4 settings)
Polychrome Vocal Chorus (1/2/3 - not sure if these are separate filters?)
Korg Lambda Chorus
From the schems that I've seen (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.... I've only eyed the VP-330 and Lambda) most of the filters that have variable attack/release controls simply use them for a volume VCA before the fixed filter? If so, the poly can do all of that work....
Coupled with JH's Triple Chorus, Schulte, and a stereo chorus, any decent analog poly could be a pad monster with these filters!
Just for interest, does anyone have the Polymoog Keyboard preset/filter schems and/or the Polychrome filter schems? Would be interesting to have a gander at them....

A module with some simple anti aliasing filters like in the linndrum em sp1200 would be cool to. |

maybe a more modular one like a selection of eight small filters out of 4 different types. All with small pcbs and front. These are internally connected to a
FF <-- Filter Fixer
having an audioinput that will be sent internally to all "slave" filters. And a audiooutput which sums all the signals of the slavefilters with a poti recieven internally. This module locks (fixes) the initial frequencies of the slaved filters by sending a set of fixed (programmable?) cvs to the slavefilters. Or with a cv-controlable interval between the 8 bands.
the seperate audioinputs of the slavefilters disconnect the internal wiring. the cv freq input summs the incoming cv with the cv provided by "FilterFixer"
what do you think? or did I absolutely miss the point? _________________ www.myspace.com/undergrinder |

Just a couple quick Q's for anyone who may have sifted through this before....
I have been reviewing the notes from the Polymoog Keyboard, and the Vox Humana filter is a bit confusing (to my puny brain anyway! ;-P) It appears that there is a separate board altogether for the Vox Humana filters (at least for the lowpass portions), but there is reference to still another set of highpass filters associated with the Vox Humana preset on Board #1?
Is the Vox Humana "Board" the whole fixed bank, or not?
As another aside, has anyone gone any further in analyzing the Polychrome Vocal Chorus circuit? I've never encountered a Polychrome in person, and as all I have to go on is the PDF'd "spec sheet", I can't figure out if it is really a "fixed" filter, or whether there is something far more complex at work....
Cheers,
Gav. |

Here's a short demo of the section that emulates the VP330 Vocoder Plus "male 8" voice.
Input signal is a single-oscillator sound with slight PWM be envelope and triangle wave vibrato from the PolyKorg Clone.
TC D-Two echo added, as well as a little bit of Quantec.
Starts with dry sound, switches to Male 8 Voice filter and back.

Hi,
Is it decided which filter it´s going to be in this module?
The Yamaha GX1/MOTM-485 VCF is nice too ofcourse. Adds a bit of distorsion. |

I think the gx1 vcf is voltage controled so not fixed.
JH did you try that polychrome choir filter yet? |

Jurgen honestly something like the buchla 194,195 would be cool. |

I'll have to look at these ... remind me should I forget.

Amazing demo on the Male 8' Filter, JH!
Is the plan to include all 4 settings of the VP-330 filter on board? If so, is there any benefit to having separate 4' and 8' inputs to the filters?
As well, I have to echo mono-poly.... although I know we're not looking for a "vocal" filter module here, the vocal filter from the Polychrome would be a spectacular addition!

The 3 male settings are all slightly different, the female setting obviously a lot different, but IMO it's that Male 8 I've demo'ed that stands out. I'm not overly fond of the female setting.

That little demo clip sounds like the business, Jurgen. Looking forward to this one, for sure. The Novachord filters could be a good addition to this, if you're still looking for suggestions. This is the piece you suggest combining with the string filter at some point, I believe?
On the off-chance that Rick Jellife from upthread is still looking at this, can I just say that I really dig that "ricko-juicer" VST plug that you wrote, and that I also like the CS80r and the SH3-a-like VST instruments as well? Thanks for writing them and seeing fit to share your work with people. I did create a few presets for the CS80r, not a full bank of them to send to you yet though. |

Don´t forget the Logan Vocalist and it´s larger brother Vocal Synth. An eerie choir sound.
The human voice presets on Teisco EX-300 and SX-400 is said to be very nice too.
Yamaha SS-30 is another suggestion for strings. |

Oh, thanks for that: people say I got the CS-60 ring modulator better than the commercial emulator. SynthEdit and simple DSP is so easy compared to hardware! In hardwara, the construction details are so much of the job. I really admire JH, Ian Fritz and so on, the ones who absolutely are masters of the analog game and then creative.

+1
A vintage 'gritty' A/D>D/A Module ala SP1200/MPC60 (12bit) could be really useful (esp for drums), maybe there is some way of integrating into the Deltalab VC Delay project...
BTW Love the VP330 demo. |

Another important fixed filter. Subject description: ... |
|
|
I would TOTALLY be in for the module you're describing. I've developed more and more of a taste for fixed filters.
One request: The Moog String Filter... God I forget what it's called, maybe someone knows. It was designed as a standalone box to pass sounds through and apply the formants of a violin to it.
My other request, definately the manual set and forget filter from Roland's SH-7 (or was it the SH-9?)
Moog's Vox Humana filter is a classic.... I like vocal filters, if you put more than one in there it would not go to waste.
Man oh man, I can't wait to build this. I think it will rock a lot. |

I found this interesting thread today. I'm not sure if the project has been put on ice or if it's still alive, but... although I don't have any better fixed filter suggestions than the above mentioned, I would be very interested in buying an FFF PCB or two if it becomes reality!
The project is a good idea, since fixed filters can give an "acoustic" or "physical" quality to the often "too clinical" electronic sounds. Fixed filters are underrated devices, too rarely seen/heard. I have a equalizer-like Doepfer FFB that is remarkably useful, and I've always wanted more fixed filter units of different kinds.
Go for it!
A side note:
A couple of you have suggested mixing different filter outputs in the postings above. Since phase differences will cause frequencies to interfere both constructively and destructively, the resulting spectrums will be somewhat unexpected. I think the different internal filters should be seen as separate effect boxes instead. Perhaps with separate outputs, and the user can mix & treat these at will. |

FFF project will certainly happen.
I have an idea how to make it more universally usable than intended - maybe.
Phase cancellation from mixing:
Unexpected: Yes.
Interesting: Just because of being unexpected, IMO.
Creating a deep notch somewhere near a resonance peak may look stupid in a filter plot, but may just be what gives an interesting, organic sound quality!

Definitely!
But important to know that MALE CHOIR + FEMALE CHOIR not necessarily results in MIXED CHOIR. For example. |
