CEM3350 and the Rhodes Chroma

This came in on the Rhodes Chroma list via Heinz:

"Here a discription of the CEM3350 what I believe it's working. Note all components red marked in the schematic are always present in the Chroma. All OTAs are LM13700.
What is new is SW 2. If it is set to the right position we got a BP response. Together with SW1 to right postion we got an Allpass. The circiut is not adapted to the Chroma yet. Frequency control is set to somewhat 0.5V/Octave. My problem at the moment is the Q-control. When I'm pulling the FIX input to ground (no pos. feedback) the filter behaves as described. Because I have no audio sweeper I did't know what is the Q when stepping trough from 0-6 with Q-control. My only choice is the pink noise source as a audio source and measure the increase of output level at a fixed frequency i.e. 32. But - the source isn't bad but not the best. So what I need is more measurements from different Chromas to have an average. Ok - the next problem. The LM13700 needs current sources for control. Thus the expo converter is hooked up around a PNP array. Hard to find and all controls have the opposite direction. But the good news. The filter is breadboarded and on my bench. It oscillates from 16kHz to appr.12 Hz (better as in simulation). Because I have no quad PNP array I've glued two 2SA798 together. In other words - the filter works.

King Capitol Punishment Glamour Box Synth

via this auction
"the glamour box is an all analog dual oscillator synth with wave shaping and hurting the sounds of the glamour box may be affected by an external audio signal.

facilitates a wide range of maddening sounds ranging from sick static to modulating volcanic eruptions which are shoveled into all out sub-thunder explosions, and grated scraping high frequencies. the glamour box has an external audio input that smashes incoming signal inside of the two sweepable oscillators creating a vortex of intense \ distorted schizophrenic undulations.

features::
master volume control
wave shaper/hurter (controls the way osc1 modulates the osc2 wave shape)
two oscillators (each potentiometer tuned)
lfo (affects the pitch of osc #1 lfo wave shape a square)
lfo rate control (potentiometer adjusted)
osc 2 volume control (potentiometer adjusted)
external audio signal input (gain is adjusted with potentiometer)
gain booster for external audio input
internal summing amplifier mixes together: oscillator 1, oscillator 2 & external audio input
and violently spits the mixed signal out into the filter

the triangle composed of the three small knobs in the center
the bottom knob of the small triangle is a gradual selector of the frequencies which are tuned by sweeping the upper right and upper left knobs

externally powered by a regulated 9 volt dc (standard barrel type) power adaptor."

"Just play around with the nice playable build in sequencer in my lovely DIY Shruthi-1 from mutable-instruments.net/​. The patch was #50 neowaves. There is only a few delay and reverb on the mono output of this little beast. And yes it is only one monophonic Shruthi-1."
