i have a synthi A and the RS500 and 510. i know that the 500 filter is supposed to be an
exact rebuild of the synthi filters -- i don't think it quite matches the behavior, but it's
still pretty good -- but since much of the charm of the synthi for me is its essential
nastiness, i found that half of getting the synthi vibe out of the 500 filter module lies less
in what oscillator i ran into it than in overdriving the input (and output) to distort. the
trapezoid module and a joystick (AS or doepfer) go a long way toward a nice simulation
(yes also the model 14).
