Re: microsynth

You can find info on the sherman filterbank at this 
address-http://www.ping.be/sherman/
when I bought mine I had to order it from a distributor in Minnesota I 
believe. I live in Chicago and nobody carried it that I knew of. In school 
we 
get free copies of electronic musician and I started a discussion of the 
filterbank from an ad I saw. It turned out a classmate had one and I was 
able 
to have an audition of it. I like the sound of the electrix filters but 
felt 
that it's buzz setting didn't quite cut it. The sherman's filters are 
really 
extreme, the electrix can't compare in the range available for sonic 
mutilation. It's also nice to have the FM and AM available. Since it's 
true 
analog it does have a warm sound. The warmness is more modern sounding 
than 
say a seventies kind of warm so I feel it doesn't alienate people who may 
be 
used to hearing a harsher digital filter sound. The unit is also well 
constructed. 

I recommend you try to look up anything you are thinking of buying here 
first 
to see what others may say about the product.
