[sdiy] How to continually blend from a parallel connection of the two multi-mode resonating filters?

It might be possible to take advantage of the following facts to make  
this easier:

1) The input of filter one is always connected to the input
2) The output of filter 2 is always connected to the output

This leaves you three variable amounts to control

1) The amount of input fed to filter 2
2) The amount of filter1 output fed to the main output
3) The amount of filter1 output fed to filter2

(2) and (3) are inversely related (eg when one goes up, the other  
goes down). This would enable you to fake it by feeding filter1's  
output to filter two's input directly, and then using an inverted  
copy of (2) to cancel it out when it isn't required.
It's a bit cheeky, but it'd probably work.
