Re: Synthacon: The case of the scratchy res pot

Do me a favor and watch the output on a scope while you turn the knob. My
problem with my CGS steiner filter sounds like a "scratchy pot" to the ear,
but is pretty obviously due to some kind of DC component when you look at it
on a scope. Could be inherent in the original design.
