Whilst you can hear a difference between 2-pole and 4-pole filters, going to 6-pole or higher
does not yield any significant differences which is why such filters are rarely, if ever found on
analogue synths.
NOTE: Because the resonance control in FILTER 2 has twice the range of FILTER 1’s,
theoretically, you should set FILTER 2’s resonance to twice that of FILTER 1’s but in practice,
you will find that this is not strictly necessary. However, by setting both filter’s resonance to
maximum (15 and 30 respectively), you can create very resonant and ‘squelchy’ synth sounds,
especially synth basses.
Watch out for distortion, however, with such high resonance settings. When using high
resonance settings, you may find it necessary to switch in the -6dB pad in the
field - you may even need to back the programs output level off as well.
