I´ve asked them on Messe this year. Apparently these are models of three of the most sought-after vintage synthesizers ever made.

Here they are:

I take it you don't like the filters. They're not breathtaking but blending a few different filters can get some cool results.

Tip...just don’t feed the local troll and harlequin and block him...will make your life easier on this part of the forum.

He is one of those dicks who can never grow up...so i guess he still has that squeaky voice also.

I guess no one knows. That's ok because I think all the mpc 2.0 filters sound fantastic. I'll see if I can find out. I'll keep y'all posted.

Apparently the MPC5000 had them too.

Model1
This is an analog style 4-pole filter, modeled after a famous vintage semi-modular synthesizer. This filter will clip (distort) when fed a loud input level.
Model2
This is another analog style filter with a mellow resonance, and slight fattening distortion in the lower frequencies.
Model3
This filter is a crazy analog modeling filter capable of howling, piercing resonance and jaw-rattling sub frequencies. Watch your
speakers!


I'd bet they're the same.

Are we talking about in standalone, or in the software?
