Details:

"The Studio Electronics ATC-1 has that wonderful old, school analog sound from the early 70's! The ATC-1 is the go to synth for Moogy analog bass and lead sounds, and it delivers truly mind-expanding modulated special effects sounds. In fact with the ATC-1's four discrete filter cartridges, it's a modern version of four vintage synths with the modern addition of 512 programmable patch memories, Midi control and syncing LFOs to the beat. Each of the two oscillators allow summing of the waveforms, which means you can select triangle, sawtooth and variable square waveforms (with PWM) simultaneously for a huge sound! Included are the signature 24db cascading Moog ladder filter, the cutting Oberheim SEM filter with switchable 12db/24db modes, an authentic 24db ARP 2600 filter and lastly an extremely squelchy 18db Roland TB-303 filter. What this amounts to is the SE-1 can sound identical to a Minimoog, an OB SEM, an ARP 2600 or a TB-303 with wonderful modulation possibilities. Think robust, random percolating modular synth sounds! This is not to mention the filters are accessible at the touch of a button...hey no more messy patch cords to get modular sound! In addition, the ATC-1 has an external input for effecting any sound routed to it...great for warming up drum loops through the 4 filters! If you have an older analog synth, the ATC-1 can be used as a MIDI to CV gate to control that older synth. In addtion because it has CV gate/trigger INs,the ATC-1 can be controlled by other analog devices like step sequencers."

  2. It takes a lot more than a filter to make a synth sound like a 2600, Moog or Oberheim.

  3. It doesn't take a whole lot more that the filter to make a synth sound like a moog. The moog filter is like 85% of its sound.

  4. If a Moog is 85% filter, why does my Moog modular sound like a Moog without a filter even patched in.
    Try it on YOUR Moog modular.
