I never imagined any course like this could even be made. In about 1972 (7th grade) I’d befriended the younger brother of *ARP director of research and development.
We often wondered if any Moog and any ARP could create identical timbres. It must be possible because a sine wave is a sine wave and any oscillator (VCO) can be swept through a spectrum of fundamental frequencies…… but the filters (VCF) are most responsible for the timbre. 🙂 I’d heard or read that Oberheim’s filters are audibly distinct from those that preceded them.
There are tones out there I’d love to learn to recreate, such as the solo patches of Jan Hammer (Mahavishnu Orchestra), George Duke (Frank Zappa’s band), Alan Zavod and Jamie Glaser (Jean-Luc Ponty’s bands). As always Admin thanks.
