Hey you're a star... again!

I've always admired Russian synths especially the Polivoks and its
"Russian Devil Filters".

I believe the filter circuit doesn't use a capacitor in it - amazing.
The filter is the top part of this schematic*:

The filter has been usefully cloned.

I also like the Estradin 230

Russian Minimoog clones.

Cheers
