[sdiy] 2164 Korgasmatron VCF

[Tim Ressel]

In the Jung opamp book there is a method of placing a bridge rectifier across 
the integrator cap and placing a voltage reference across the 'dc' terminals of 
the bridge. This would allow for adjustable clipping as well as asymmetrical 
clipping.

I have the EFM version as well... the diodes are in the wrong place in that 
design
and they do not clip symmetrically. (the original used the diodes around an 
opamp, the
EFM has an OTA in that position)> The feedback is taken from a different point 
as well.

Somewhere I have a copy of the schematic that I marked up, its also possible 
that there
is some copy in the EFM archives.

I know of many ways to 'dial a  zener' but I'm hoping that David has a new and 
elegant
solution :^)

I've been wondering the same thing. I've got my old dual EFM module i modified 
so one filter has the 3 anti-parallel diodes, the other is without and they both 
sound very different winding up the resonance. it would be good to be able able 
to control the middle ground between the two.
