The ARP Omni 2 (model 2470) bass voice is full of 4007s
in a variety of roles.
The main section of interest is the VCF, which is a 2 pole
job, each stage using a 470R in series with an N stage of
the 4007 and a 0.068 cap to ground. The interesting bit is
the initial cut-off control signal, which uses a third N stage
from the same 4007 in the feedback of an opamp.
Another 4007 is used as an ADR envelope generator and
a third for enabling the bass voice. In these stages the
4007 is only switching, not behaving as a VC resistor.
I can't scan the schematic it at the moment, but if anyone's
interested, email me in a couple of weeks when I've found
my scanner. Just moved house...
