Pole (was Re: gear names )

[Terry <evaluna@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think he named it after the broken 4-pole filter on his Waldorf synth - a
4-pole filter attenuates the input signal by 24db an octave (or is that a
6-pole. I forget) - you also get 2-pole, 1-pole etc filters.
I wonder how reliant that sound really is on that broken synth - what if the
thing breaks or gets stolen? Will Pole start making UK Garage?

So this may be a dumb question.  I was wondering how the name Pole is
related to
Gear.  I know that it has something to do with that patented Pole sctratchy
sound.>>
