[sdiy] Jupiter 8 HPF circuit weirdness

[Rob Keeble]

Hi
I have built this circuit with BA6110 and found it to be rather unreliable, sometimes working ok other times it doesn't cut off or has a less than smooth response as you are getting. I put a log slider in rather than linear. I presume some hand selection of the OTA and FET is needed. A similar circuit from the SH5 with a ca3080 seems far more consistent. I use the GR FET too. 

Ideas from the list would be very useful!

Best Regards

If I change the frequency of the oscillator the high pass filter seems to stop working and has to 'climb' up again. Any ideas what could be causing this? Note I'm using decoupling capacitors on the circuit.
