Q compensation feature in 2.0.4 - Will you use it? How?

[LPF83]

This feature surprised me, it's not something that I would have asked for but now that it's there, and I've heard it, I will no doubt be reaching for it from time to time to add a bit more punch to certain sounds.  It definitely adds a bit of modern flair to the tone, and more option for variety in sound design.

Curious about the specifics on how others plan to use this feature?

How did you hear it? Or did you download it and hear it? I haven't had a chance to install it yet. Sounds interesting.

Sorry for a dumb question, but just what is Q compensation?

I'll probably use it 100% of the time. Before I had to leave a bit of headroom on the volume knob of the Prophet to compensate for when I raise the resonance on a sound. Very nice new feature.

On many filters as you turn resonance up, the low end falls out of the tone... Q compensation is just bass compensation, adding low end to compensate.

After you install the new OS and panel updates, you get to it through the third Global page.  It's something you'd probably never stumble on by accident, but it's easy enough to enable.  Instructions are at bottom of the new OS post:  https://forum.sequential.com/index.php/topic,4873.0.html
