Hi Ryan + all, I'm interested in using it at/over flanger-like frequency (less than a millisecond) This would allow to play with analog physical modelling if the freq of the delay is voltage controllable and we can achieve very short delays... Great that you are experimenting wit

I think this means the filter's cutoff frequency can be controlled by injecting a CV into the filter via a pot. You'd wire say 5V DC to one lug of a 100K linear pot, the middle tap to the CV in of the filter, and the remaining lug to ground. Now, turn the knob and you will hear t

Hi. Charlie Lamm has an article about adding VC control of Resonance on his site at; http://www2.charlielamm.com/synth/ Follow the first link about the SSM2164 dual VCA, and you'll find some notes on how he used it to get control over the Steiner VCF. Hope it helps. Regards, Dave

For CV the level, you better use a VCA. Resonance CV is a bit tricky, you could use a LDR excited by a LED, or an OTA. I never tried these. And frequency CV is already built in the filter (CV In is exactly this: the CV for frequency). ----- Original Message ----- From: "earthtody
