Charles,
you're right! Just tested that. It's up to about 30mV
peak-to-peak and goes away when LP Freq is decreased.
I never noticed that before since the filter is before
the VCA in my setup and with a blast of SAW or
whatever fed into the filter it's like 50x less than
the signal itself.
Even when I connect the filter directly into the amp
without any VCA it's very very little - as you said
-75dB. What I notice a lot more are the transient DC
offsets that happen when LP freq is changed. Those can
go up to 0.2V. But after googling for that I found
that this happens in many (all??) state-variable
filters... I think this is from the CA3280.

Best,

Dino
