Now, I don't own, or plan to buy a satellite, but of course I am
interested
in details about this filter.
I have studied the schematics of various moog filters (the Mini's is the
one
I've cloned), and there are several differences for sure, such as
transistor
arrays for part of the ladder, and every combination of components for
the buffer/amplifier stage after the ladder (Discrete BJTs in Modular
and
Minimoog, 3080 OTA in several instruments, the Taurus amongst them,
if memory serves, an instrumentation amplifier built from BiFET opamps
in one instrument  ...)
Now what on earth is iside this Sattelite synth ??
