[sdiy] Band-Pass Filter with CV control of Frequency Cut-off?

I don’t know if it helps Justin much, but that’s an awesome idea in its own right even if it doesn’t!

After all, the whole point of the circuit is that it’s just controlled by a single-gang 100K pot. So…one vactrol, or maybe even a FET?

THAT2162 is a nice dual VCA which would give you exponential control. They have an application note showing the construction of different filter stages with their VCAs:
