Also, the Sherman filterbank uses switched capacitor
filters. I like this filterbank because it has a very
distinct sounding, possibly due to the SC-filters, but
they are not extremely steep. However there is a lot
of bleed trough from the clock signal and some
aliasing type behaviour. It really makes a lot of
additional noises. Therefore the Sherman is more
suitable to process electronic things than it is to
process acoustical sounds. That's why I often build a
patch on the a100, much like the sherman but without
the noises....
