Thanks for your thoughts! The resonance on the cem works really good, the level stays very solid. Good for the sound but also for a couple of other things.

 

I tried FM and AM (sid output pre VCF applied to the CV ins). Gives you some very interesting sounds, especially with higher resonance settings.

For Highpass operation (LP-dry signal=HP) the small gain variation from increased resonace can be easily compensated with one side of the paning VCA.

 

Relly useful chip, a shame they are dicontinued. Days of the analog dinosours are gone...

 

Rather on the clean side soundwise i would say. Like the big polysynths it was invented for maybe.

 

I think with a selfmade VCF a lot more mojo can be had. Build a moog once and started a steiner. The moog is definitly a beast compared to the cem.

The Polivoks VCF i never build, but i looked at the schematic a couple of times.

You know this page? Good info on the Polivoks. http://modularsynthesis.com/kuzmin/polivoks/polivoks_vcf.htm
