Polivoks Filter

Here is a version of the Polivoks Voltage Controlled Filter.

Circuit is based on the LM4250 Programmable OP Amps.  Features:
  • Resonance, or "Q" Control
  • Cutoff Frequency Control
  • LP and BP Filter Settings
  • On-board LFO
    • Frequency Control
    • On/Off Switch
    • FM Control (controls the amount of oscillation of filtering)
  • 1/4" Input and Output Jacks
  • Input Gain Control
  •  True Bypass
  • Runs on 12VDC input power
I used the LTC1144 IC to make a dual voltage power supply for the circuit (+/- 12VDC).  This worked the best, straight forward and effective solution.
