Using resonance as an instrument? (no Oscilator)

[hoopyfrood]

Maybe on NS3 you need to tune the filter 1 octave above (?)

Seems to follow the keyboard - the point where the filter stops tracking stays at C1 regardless of the filter tuning. What does work (at least on the Stage 3 Compact) is to set the filter to 65 Hz (down another octave), and shift the synth section up an octave. This pushes the point where the filter stops tracking below the range of the keyboard.

Thank you to all that have answered. It makes sense that the Moog filter is the one that self oscillates. Indeed, the moog filter is the one I was specifically asking about. Another workaround I realized is to trigger a quick sample and leave the KB hold on so the gate remains open.

So the original question is answered.

As I'm not an experienced sound creator, I just don't understand what this approach is for. A self resonating filter produces a sine wave, as far as I know. What's the idea behind doing it via the resonance filter? The Stage has a sine wave built in.

Answering the above question, the moog filter itself is a marvel. Though the nords isn't analog when you sweep it slowly (you can hear the steps), the filter does sound very close to a moog's. The reason behind wanting to use resonance as an instrument is because the LFO controlling the cutoff point can give you great sound effects with extra harmonic content that you wont get in a simple waveform. For instance, set the LFO to ramp up (reverse saw) at about 4hz and then sweep the cutoff point up, with some reverb. You'll get a bubbly sound. With white noise you'll get some more ocean effect in there too
