In a couple of them it sounds like you have a filter frequency automation (dn505 there is a 303-like resonance tweak I think, and dumbstuff has a rising filter at the beginning on the first bassline). I was not aware this sort of thing was possible with Cheesetracker. Would you mind saying how it was done? The only ways I could think of was by routing through jack rack or a modular synth patch, but then I think you would have to record the filtered track on its own as cheesetracker only has stereo outputs, or alternatively by tweaking the plugins live?
