MOTM-440 DISCRETE OTA VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED LOWPASS FILTER WITH VC RESONANCE

You have probably heard of the SSM2040 filter chip, used in the Prophet 5 Rev. 2 synth, the Voyetra 8, and others. Although short-lived, the SSM2040 filter had a unique sound different from a Moog, ARP or other 4-pole lowpass. Why? The design used a clever discrete OTA gain cell.
