In simulation, if I feed the input into both the HP and LP destinations on a
single filter, I do indeed get a kind of gentle notch.  The minimum
amplitude at the cutoff frequency (with zero resonance) is 6db (i.e., 50% of
the input amplitude).  It's not a sharp notch like one would expect from a
proper notch filter, but more of a smooth dip in (log) amplitude at the
cutoff frequency.  Is that going to sound like much?

Is this what the "notch" setting on the other clones achieves as well?  I
can't see any other way to hook the thing up, so I'm presuming so, but I'd
love to know for sure before I commit to it on the PCB.
