filter morphs?

[Michael Zacherl]

Hi Niall,

    thanks for that insight!

I just downloaded the sunsyn's manual to have a more thorough look at  
it.

This filter goes far beyond what Live's Sampler filter can do - which  
I consider rather boring.
Individual frequency settings are a must, IMO!

I wonder if Paul H. could manage to provide some typical sound samples  
of more complex morphs.  ;-)

     cheers, Michael.
