Re: VCFQX as portamento controller.

2002-09-16 by Ken Stone

I'm referring to the original "R12" VCFs as fitted to my 1973 unit.
There's a poor quality schematic that is easilly foundon the web that
has a "audio - sub" switch shown on it. On my PCBs, these components
are fitted, but there is, and never was, a switch to activate them.
Don's slightly later filters on the same PCBs don't even have the
extra capacitors fitted.

There appear to be similar switchable caps on the VCFQ too.
