Re: new steiner VCF design

2006-11-08 by Gerald Stevens

A question I've been meaning to ask about the old design. When I adjust the
resonance, there is a large, slow DC offset that tracks the knob turn then
drifts back to zero causing some nasty clipping if I turn it too fast. I
believe it has to do with the 10uF AC coupling cap at the TL071, and have
been meaning to change it to something smaller. How much smaller? Looks
like the new circuit has switched to 1uF, and it's on the other side of the
10k resistor now? Is there something else wrong with my board that could
be causing this? Probably is... never did get it to self-oscillate.

Yes, I feel the diodes are worthwhile. CV Reject would be worthwhile if you
are getting thumping.
