Oh dear, another part I've not heard of. What's a "switched cap"? Is it
simply a cap with two possible capacities?

Also, some circuits use varactors -- which in my limted understanding is a
semi-conductor variable capacitor. I believe that's what used in a Manley
de-esser. Otoh, acceleration limiters use switched caps.

Has anyone ever built a varactor synth filter??
