I developed a comb filter with positive/negative feedback and a filter in the feedback path. Check out the presets, some interesting tones are possible

As it stands, a single saw oscillator feeds the filter. The design has a clipper before the output due to the high volume variation between different notes. I have found that overdrive is a useful way to deal with this as well.

The filter in the feedback path can be very touchy at high feedback levels, and it is difficult to get anything particularly musical with it engaged. There are a few sweet spots, however.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
