Doesn't take much. You could make a filter yourself if you really wanted to.

Sorry I mistyped on that last message. What I meant to say that the ones in my price range sound like crap quality.I have given serious consideration to do so. Except i want something that I know will last a long while. I'm thinking my best option is planktons post.

It's free and simple. I think so as well.

Just write lyrics without it. Could be your gimmick.

The new Alchemy synth they added to the latest iOS GarageBand is pretty versatile.

Also got Novation Launchpad app which is pretty fun.

As far as e-synths go, this is one of the best that I've ever used (totally free too)

I like using Sound Fonts and Directwave for realistic sounding instruments.

And recently I got Nexus which is ****ing awesome.

lol I'm so lazy I use whatever comes with fcpx. I edit video more than audio so I'm quite handicapped in that way

So I'm fixing my Grandpa's guitar, and the pickup on it is bad. This isn't the guitar but it's the same model.

From what I can tell, it's a single coil. I want to replace the pickup without paying a hundred bucks and without replacing the tone and volume controls. Any ideas.

I think you'd have to buy an actual physical pickup. It's really difficult to install anything on those old ones. They usually don't even have a USB port.
