RE: [motm] variable capacitors (was: Schematic Icon Reference)

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??
