Late to the thread, so apologies. The base width filter would be AMAZING to have on the analogs, andjust the analog channels of the Syntakt. However, unless Iām very much mistaken, impossible to just add. We would need new versions of the hardware.
As it is now, itās a digital filter.
To implement it on the analogs, would either require an analog version of the filter, then duplicated across all tracks.
If the analog channels went back into the digital mixer via A to D conversion, that would be another way, but those conversion lines are probably not present in the analogs or analog channels.
Plus, then the analog audio would undergo the conversion, and no longer be pure analog, which people have complained about with other synths in the past.
The simplest way would be to have a single analog one, that could be assigned to a track like the FX track on the Syntakt, but would require new analog circuitry, and new OS components.
So, not something they could just add to an upcoming OS update.
That said, the A4 has two filters per channel, one being state variable, so you can use the bandpass filter to do this. As one example. Another would be to use high pass mode on some of the other devices.
Not as flexible of course, but there are ways to work with it. Or just run the channel out to an outboard EQ or filter box, or DAW channel.
With hardware there are always tradeoffs for space on the panel, space on the PCB, target price, etc. People already complain about synth prices, so this has to be heavily weighed.
I know you know most or all of this, just thought Iād post the likely reasons. I would LOVE to see this filter on pretty much EVERYTHING!
