MOTM

I agree that CLIP is NOT the right label.

LEVEL is more correct.

But I'm worried about all that wiring again. I could sacrifice 1 CV input
and just have 2: 1V/O and the fancy
- to + large sweep one. I think 3 audio inputs are groovy.

Me, too.

Also note this kit will have newer Bourns pots (the blue type in the ADSR)
that have
lugs to solder to as opposed to pins, for pots on the "left column". Pots on
the pcb are Spectrol
as usual.

I must say this is a wicked mama of a filter. I'm not going to push it as a
******KORG MS-20 CLONE ********
so Japan won't nuke me. Rather, as Larry and other owners will say, the
crappy VCA with the funky
bass-boost is also part of the MS-20 "sound". But I think the MOTM version
will keep you folks up late.

I don't see a lot of value myself in a "level" LED. Certainly not worth
sacraficing other useful features.

As always, opinions will differ and mileage will vary.

No! Nein! Nyet! I love blinky lights, and am perfectly willing to do the
extra wiring, but NEVER sacrifice an additional attenuated CV input as the
price of the LED. I'll have velocity and an envelope hooked up most of the
time, and both need to be attenuated!

3 attenuated audio inputs are indeed groovy! The standard Emu only has 2
attenuated and 1 full level. Way to go!

Hi Paul, everybody,

It seems there is general agreement on the idea of not losing either an input
or an attenuator for the LED. But in case you do put it in ALA Dave's pic,
maybe you can tell us if the filter sounds good when overdriven (use a
continuous level indicator), or bad (use a clip blinking LED).

OK OK I'll keep it. Don't complain about:

a) price too high
b) lots of wires

CLIP is not the right word, it's really LEVEL.
