The continuation of the continuum continues. Hopefully the video is self explanatory, but if you can't hear what I'm mumbling about, feel free to comment.

I just noticed I didn't explain the synth circuitry very well. I'm using a Synthacon style filter based on this design: picsynth.000space.com/synthacon.html which happens to be an extremely simple filter and sounds amazing.

There is also a VCA which controls the level going into the filter. I've wired it as OSC to VCA to VCF, because I want one filter in the final design and four VCA's for the four strings.
