the filter we need for our A-188 BBD modules is here (ok, in 30db or 60 db slopes):

now lets see if Dieter will finalize it and bring it into production...

Hi Ingo,
a CV input sounds comprehensible to me. I just thought to omit it to
keep it simple and cheap but if it is needed it is needed.
Price is not everything. ;)
The 48 db filter is more important to me than the simple highpass.
Cheers
Joachim
