What makes the Moog fixed filterbank so special?

[Unfiltered]

what is the difference between a FFB and a graphic Eq? seems like the same principle to me.

[MC]

Graphic EQs have boost and cut.

Moog FFB is cut only, as is the MuRF.

Moog FFB is cut only, as is the MuRF.

And Moog FFB has an interaction between bands (notches, mainly), that is in the same order of magnitude as the nominal operation. Very characteristic, once you've heard it, and unlike any EQ.

Hi,

I have been wondering for a while what makes the Moog fixed filters so
special in comparison to those of some other manufacturers.

Though this thread isn't about the classic Moog VCF, not the same thing at all as the Moog Fixed Filter Bank. Or does he discuss the filter bank at some point and I was just impatient?

Jürgen Haible, who had mentioned his prototype for ebay sale on this thread (I bid but didn't win due to budgetary reasons) --has an interesting technical page on with discussions and PCB options for using real inductors or alternatives.

Sorry, I misread the question. I don't recall him covering fixed Moog filters in the course.
The link you posted is helpful though.
