I bought the book. Quite ridiculous to name this "Pro"
decades after the original Formant.

They tell the aspiring diy builder to select transistors
for a Moogish ladder filter, and then they ruin the
whole symmetry with a differential amp that has twice
the input impedance on the positive vs. negative
input. Big laugh, money wasted. Sold the book
on ebay. (I ∗told∗ the buyer what I think of these
circuits, but he wanted it anyway. (;-))
