Re: a-102 diode vcf - strange behavior - ?

2006-04-07 by selfoscillate

hello dave,

this is normal with the a102, don't worry.
the a102 begins to oscillate pretty early.
in this filter nearly all parameters interact
with each other and the extra-big resonance
knob range just makes sure that you can
reach all the sound colors possible with this
filter design.

best wishes

ingo
