- I'm not clear what you mean by "programmable digital filters." Programmable
- in what sense? The Peavey and the Wavestation allow filter cutoff to be
- controlled by MIDI (though they only have lowpass nonresonant filters so
- this isn't much to write home about). The MicroWave allows independent
- cutoff and resonance control via modulation matrix. Then there's the
- Matrix-1000...

-
- I'm still not clear what you're after here. You do have realtime control
- over the A/D effects processors which you can feed from the SP via analogue
- ins; but that's not the same as anything you can get with the K2000.

- Of course, dammit, the man's absolutely right. It is, however, a matter of
- sonic balance: when faced with a Mark Murphy physical theatre performance,
- one needs analogue filters to compete with the stomp of multiple Dr.
- Martens.
