I've wired and calibrated mine as far as I'm going to go until I get
the Stooge panel. I hardwired sub-2 back to the attenuator as I
didn't want to wire up the switch and all the sub outputs until I get
the final panel.
This filter really rocks! It's kind of a distortion / vco /
filter all in one. Having the sub output fed back in is really
a nice feature. I like to just twist the knobs until I get the
gnarly sounds I like. Driving the FM with an EG is probably not
something that I'll do alot. However, feeding my ribbon controller
into the exp FM input provides some great effects.
The damping control is like a reverse resonance control. It tames it
down a bit.
I get a lot of effect in the bandwidth control in the last 20% of
rotation. I get the most control on a high frequency input without
any sub input. It's a very tame control that enhances with subtle
effects. I'm thinking that a log scale might have been more
appropriate.
I also reduced the range of the fine control with a 2M2 input
resistor. I like that a lot better.

Ken - great design and lots of fun. Could have used a couple of +15
and -15 pads on the pcb.
