So when might we be able to see a Polivoks VCF?  Perhaps based on the A-
124 design, with a HP/LP mix potentiometer and a solo BP pot?

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

If DIY is an option:

We designed a Polivoks filter about one year ago but we stopped the project
as Shawn Cleary of Analogue Haven informed us that such a filter is under
development by the Polivoks inventor Vladimir Kuzmin. It should be available
soon from Analogue Haven.

There is nothing particularly special about the design, it is simply 
one of the standard state-variable configurations, albeit using the 
inherent integrator action of a (compensated) op amp - it is to be 
found in at least one of the filter books that I have. The only 
real 'novelty' aspect in the Polivoks appears to be the use 
of 'programmable' op amps to provide a variable cut-off frequency. It 
should be relatively simple to add another op amp in order to make 
the high-pass output available, and the method of setting the current 
which 'programs' the op amps could possibly be improved, as the 
transistor-resistor set-up is dealing with some pretty small currents 
(nano-amps), and I dare say is very sensistive to differences in 
individual components, perhaps making initial set-up tricky (but this 
is pure conjecture, I've not tried actually breadboarding the circuit 
to find out).

I appreciate everyone's suggestions thus far.  Time to find my solder.
