Here is Dennis' famous 1971 paper introducing the ARP 2500 filter:

    Dennis Colin
    Electrical Design and Musical Applications of an Unconditionally Stable Combination Voltage Controlled Filter / Resonator
    Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, December 1971
    http://www.guitarfool.com/ARP2500/DennisCollinPaper.pdf

It's pretty impressive and includes additional connections for an innovative resonator application that I have not seen since.

Dennis' daughter got me in touch with him, and we had some wonderful phone conversations over the last couple years.  An amazing fellow; he will be missed.
