1. Introduction

Module A-121 (VCF 2) is a voltage-controlled multi-
mode filter
with a cut-off slope of -12 dB / octave.

Four simultaneous outputs are available, each with
different characteristics: low-pass, band-pass, high-
pass
and notch (or band reject).

The cut-off frequency determines the point at which
the respective filter effects appear. The frequency can
be adjusted manually, or by voltage control (Filter
modulation
, for instance by an LFO or ADSR). Two
CV inputs are available, whose control voltages are
summed.

Resonance (Emphasis or Q ) can be adjusted
manually, or by voltage control (voltage-controlled
resonance / VCQ
), right up to self-oscillation, in which
case it will behave like a sine wave oscillator.
