Understood. For starters I'm going to take out the FREQ control stuff
altogether and feed a variable voltage through the 220K resistor, so
that I can determine the effective CV range for varying the filter
from 20Hz to 20kHz (more or less). Then I can build the necessary
voltage scaling into the new CV mixer so that it plays nicely with my
MOTM modules.

This is a really cool-sounding filter! The effects it can create by
feeding it two or three different signals are just wild.
