Bass Filter (Daft Punk thread)

rszanto · 22nd March 2009

I know that it is widely held that Daft Punk uses the Mutator as their lowpass filter of choice, but has it ALWAYS been the one that they used? Could it be possible that they used a Waldorf Miniworks or an X-Pole early on in their career (specifically I am referring to the "Chord Memory" and "Mothership Connection" remixes)? Sorry if this seems like a pointless question, but I am trying to see if there is a viable alternative to the Mutator (prices for them are incredibly high right now).
Thanks!

P.S.
Anywhere (besides ebay) that I would have the chance of stumbling across either a Mutator or Waldorf filter?

The viable alternative is to use any audio input and LPF on any semi decent synth.
I've achieved the Daft Punk effect easily using a Korg MS10, an SCI Pro One and several eurorack modules such as Doepfer and Analogue Systems.
Something with a bit of grit and a funky resonance will do just fine.
