It sounds to me like you have little or no idea what role the filters play in sound creation. 99% of patches will sound the same no matter whose filter you apply. Different filters may require different settings but most of the time the sonic qualities of a filter will not matter much at all. It's only a very small percentage of patches that will really show it's true nature - when you have the resonance turned way up and the cutoff turned way down with lots of modulation on it. Most of those sounds aren't terribly musical anyway, so the number of useful sounds to show off how [b]anal[b/]ogue a filter is are vanishingly small and not really worth worrying about.
