From the project
modular analog synthesizer for a.p.
PCB with two independendent late MS20 style VCFs, one configured as a high-pass filter and one configured as a low-pass filter.
An extra summing amplifier is provided to create a parallel HPF/LPF response. Series HPF into LPF response is easily achived with switching jack normalization.
