played around with this today - the self-oscillation is nice, its got that chewy sound which is cool, nice for fx sweeps etc.... |
The Phatty filter on sub bass is pretty wicked, cutoff down to around 45-50hz and a little reso. it sounds monsterous for me, and doesn't sound digital. I really fell in love with this filter, i'm using Etch on just about everything now. Even the extra modules like the distortion and compressor sound really nice on alot of material even with the lack of controls. |

I must play around with it more - there are los and lots of controls etc on it so will take a while to get to grips with it fully
I still prefer my UAD Moog at the moment but maybe thats because its more simple to use off the bat..... |

It uses the same modulation approach that the DCAM synths use, if you're familiar with them. Either way, watch the tutorial video I posted earlier and you'll get to grips with it very quickly. It's actually pretty intuitive once you understand how to set your source/target and level, and the UI provides good visual feedback to help you see what's going on. |

| Filter plugins are mostly useful for audio, but you can apply them to synth tracks to get different flavors of filters, more/better/different modulation options, etc. It's just another set of effects to have in your toolbox. |

You could use them on drums, audio loops, for fx etc... Filters on softsynths are only beginning to get where they should be recently imo |
