From the project

An ARP 2600 inspired low pass filter for Eurorack

This is a fully through hole component Eurorack voltage controlled low pass filter based on the one in the ARP 2600. There were different filters in the ARP 2600 at different times, this is the 4072 variety and is not a diode ladder filter like the early one.

Inspiration and the starting point for schematics for this filter taken from Eddy Bergman and Yusynth
