Synton 3017 VCF Module

The 3017 is a 2 pole state-variable filter with two outputs. One is bandpass and the other is selected by a control for lowpass, notch, or highpass.

Calibration

The various controls interacted so I ended up adjusting the scaling, then setting the preset and then adjusting the HF amplitude.
