I am very excited about this as well. I have been poking around with it off and on trying to get it to work as I wish on a breadboard, but so far it does not. It will go into self-oscillation. The idea of the pair of 420's is not too far off, but the sound qualities are very different. The filter has a very distinct "howl" to it when the Q gets up there. I have an OSCar and it sound pretty fantastic on that. Earlier this year another list member came up with a circuit that could generate separation voltages. The OSCar filter as I had been trying to get work as CV for: Cutoff Resonance Separation Overdrive The original OSCar circuit will overdrive pretty easily, and it has some nice distortion that adds to the characteristic howl. In addition there would need to be switches for Slope: 12 db 18 db 24 db Mode: Lowpass Bandpass Highpass So that is the though anyhow, but so far it is not behaving itself in the lab. I am a software guy, not a hardware guy, and I am doing this mostly to amuse myself. Some of the difficulties include the fact that the OSCar schematics are hand drawn, missing some part descriptions, and (I believe) wrong in some parts. So one day it will probably work, till then it is just a science experiment. Bruce
