Why not?

Perhaps we are referring to different things. I was talking about the numbe=

r of

steps in a filter cutoff parameter - if you only have 7 bits in the filter =

cutoff setting

then you can only select 127 discrete cutoff frequencies. If you overdrive =

the filter

emphasis then it should turn into something close to a sinewave oscillator =

at the

frequency of the cutoff - the steps in the frequencies become audible which=

 was a

ongoing complaint against these systems. The issue is that if you want to d=

etune

the filter oscillating frequencies by a 0.1 HZ to get some phasing then you=

 are out

of luck since the cutoff steps are too big. The same is true if you want to=

 use this

filter as an extra oscillator (something that a lot of people did on the bi=

g synths to

get hammond sounds) then it doesn't tune that well=2Cespecially at the high=

er=20

frequencies where the filter was used as if it were another drawbar.
It doesn't mean the synth will not sound good=2C there are just some things=

 that it

will not be able to do.
