Sam you're a legend!

You just saved me an IEEE membership just to look at one paper and
some pain in "fixing" the schematics in it. I was really interested in
the SVF with mixing inputs and you just delivered it straight to me
with a wonderfully clear LTSpice schematic, thank-you!

I hope I can come up with some more interesting designs to help
contribute to the synth community like you are doing.

The positive feedback path around the Band section and that you noted
is from the ARP 4023, it looks like the OSCar also copied this idea -
thanks for pointing out the original.
