This makes sense - thanks Paul.  In the earlygoing, I had tried simple
feedback loops with each of the filters (as well as other modules) to help
me learn about their sonic characteristics.  I had noticed that this
feedback was very similar to the res control.  (Believe me, I'm still
learning!)  I've also experimented with chaining a 420 to a 440 and feeding
back the 440 output to a 420 input - different and cool.

I haven't tried it yet, but I bet applying the technique you've described
above with a 410 would produce *interesting* results.

So, I'm thinking a "filter companion module" to add this VC res
functionality (and maybe provide access to the resonance loop) would be
useful, eh?  Or maybe a daughter board to hold the VCA and add a jack for
res-in (and possibly res-out).
