Differences between borg filters and Doepfer vactrol filters?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hello I have been on the modular synth analog run for a good four years and wanted to ask for opinions on these filters. If I had to run down through most of my filters A-121-2, (borrowed) AJH ladder clone, Dr Octature II and finally the magnificent Voluptron I would say they for the most part sound Opamp hollow in their character and while I like it, I also want to get an asymmetric rich sounding filter too. I figured odd pole filters (303 type filter, leapfrog 5 pole etc.) would have that extra grit I am looking for as they most likely offset the input's phase and in resonating also introducing other peaks of harmonics like is natural for the asymmetric sawwave waveform.</p> <p>For even more grit I would imagine the best result would come from alternative hardware to the usual opamp sound, such as vactrols and FETs and diodes etc.</p> <p>Does anyone have both Doepfer's vactrol filters and malekko wiard Borg filters?</p> <p>What do these sound like compared to your standard low pass and unique from each other?</p> <p>Thanks ?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/CyBay"> /u/CyBay </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/zlt0i3/differences_between_borg_filters_and_doepfer/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/zlt0i3/differences_between_borg_filters_and_doepfer/">[comments]</a></span>
