[sdiy] RE: [AH] Parametric EQ

[Scott Juskiw]

I'm using the SSM2164 too. Nice chip, easy to work with for filter and amp. It's the programmability and morphing part that is the real challenge.

You can rack up as many of these bands as you like, with three CVs for each band (Cutoff, resonance, amount). My prototype has three filter boards.

Frequency, resonance, and gain are fully programmable, plus it has the ability to morph between presets. I was really hoping to get it finished by next spring but that seems doubtful at the moment. Maybe by next fall. If you can wait for it, I'll let you know when I'm finished. I'll have PCBs for sale, same as my other projects.
