I'm not sure that document makes anything clearer. It says:

"The RS110 consists of a two channel audio mixer followed by four, parallel, resonant filters with voltage controlled frequency and a unique "insert" point in the feedback path that generates and controls resonance."

Now, I seriously doubt that there are genuinely four separate, parallel 4-pole filters on that PCB. Although that would be one way to do it, it would be very inefficient. So what exactly *are* they talking about?

My bet is a simple 4-pole Moog-style ladder (hence the talk of a "discrete" filter with "no filter chips") with several mixers doing pole-mixing to get the various responses (that's the "parallel" part).

Hasn't anyone on here got one? Can't someone just pull one out of the rack and have a look?!?
