hi bakis, the Erwik filetr is based on the low cost Curtis 3372 combined VCF/VCA that is also found in the budget Sequential Prophet-600,Akai AX80 and the absolutely superb Oberheim Matrix 12. to the best of my knowledge, there were only 15 possible variations. 1 pole Low 2 pole Low 3 pole Low 4 pole Low 1 pole High 2 pole High 3 pole High 2 pole Band 4 pole Band 2 pole Notch 3 pole Phase 2 pole High + 1 pole Low 3 pole High + 1 pole Low 2 pole Notch + 1 pole Low 3 pole Phase + 1 pole Low do you mean to say that Doepfer will add more then the ones mentioned above. the filter will require at least a 2 digit display like the A113 subharmonic generator. the first digit could the filter type and the second digit would be the memory position for the filter type from the vc filter selection input. on the outer edges the display, you could have the dual pushbuttons like the A113 to go up or down. now you are probably wondering , how would get fifteen locations out of a simple single digit display. you use the digits 1 to 9 for the one to nine positions, you use the 0 for the number ten position, then you add a dot at the bottom left position of the digit for the digits over ten, i.e .1 is for eleven, .2 is for twelve etc. etc. same goes for the memory position for the vc filter select input position. to program the sequence of filter types for the vc filter selection input you press the 2 vc filter selection input push buttons at once , then the vc filter selection display starts flashing at the number one position. you then press the up or button on the left side for ther filter type value. to set the second vc filter select memory value you hit the down button to set it the 2 position then you hit the up or down on the left side for the filter type. you keep repeating the steps to complete the sequence of the filter types. once you are done programming, you push the two vc filter selection input buttons at once and the flashing memory positon stops flashing and away you go. there is an example of what i mean for the display the files section. hope this helps on the logic side of the vc filter selection input.
