This is a link from over at electro-music.com in the diy synth forum - great site.

I've never knowingly heard one, so the question arises: why have 3 parallel sections that seem to be the very same filter mixed down to mono?  Explain, please.

[StephenGiles]

Exactly, but possibly the idea is to control each filter separately. Perhaps Scott would elaborate???

[R.G.]

The second page of the schemo shows a pot controlling the current through the LEds for each filter. I think the idea is indeed to control each one separately, putting multiple resonances into the audio path. Voicing filters you know.

[StephenGiles]

So perhaps an arrangement could be set up to automate each filter controller, and to have each filter tuned differently, combine that with a decent envelope follower option and perish the thought.........place a distortion in front.....and we could have something very interesting - something not yet in a pedal??
