SSM2040 CAT dilemma...

[Matthew S. Padden]

Hi DIYheads..

	Here's a dilemma. I have an Octave CAT synth, very fine indeed. I also have 
most of the Digisound schematics, and would dearly love to build the 80-5 
state variable VCF (LP, HP, BP all at 12 or 24dB slope, notch) which 
uses....an SSM2040. The CAT's (very good, but rather suddenly appearing 
resonance) VCF uses.... an SSM2040. This is the only SSM2040 chip I have 
ever seen anywhere. So the dilemma is, do I keep the CAT as is, or remove 
the SSM2040 to build the 80-5 VCF and route the CAT through it when I need 
to? Bear in mind if the chip dies, I'm stuffed.
