I have a little question about this...

I haven't been able to get rid of the DC offset at the lowpass output,
regardless of the position of the trimmers. I always has an offset of
appr. +- 1V at the lowpass output. The trimmers are only altering the
point on the CV-scale where the offset sets in. There must be something
wrong with my circuit, or ?

I have matched the transistors to +- 1mV using the test-circuit from
the miniMoog manual, I've double checked all values and placings and
the filter sounds the way it should as far as I can tell, so what could
be wrong ?

Any help or suggestions appreciated!
