I've been working with Mark Verbos' adaptation of the Buchla 291 - if it's
anything like an original Buchla 291, it does seem to be rather unique to me
in terms of its response to CV - it's twangier and pluckier due to the
Vactrol response and Buchla's circuitry.  But, then again I'm by no means an
expert on the synth's that were contemporary with the 200 - were there other
VCBPF's like this as well?

A couple of examples of the response I'm talking about are here (pardon the
long links):
