[sdiy] Other resonator designs

[Dave Manley]

Have you looked at the ARP Pro Soloist?  It has a collection of fixed 
resonators/filters that can be combined in various ways, followed by a 
variable filter.  It's been a while, but I recall the fixed filter path 
is all weirdly controlled by some ancient ROM devices.
