Subject description: Is it possible to convert a basic frequency-independent square wave to sine wave?

Hi,

I've recently made the infamous Melody Generator, with a few little tweaks for fun. A recording is here. It currently sports a basic, fixed passive low-pass filter to round out the sound slightly, but I'm keen to convert the square wave output to a sine wave so I can have more fun with it (such as making a quick LFO and summing it with the output).

I hooked up this opamp-based circuit in LTSpice and it works well, however the resistor values need to be tweaked according to input frequency otherwise attenuation occurs. I suspect that a frequency-independent solution would be fairly complex? Is the 'solution' to make the values optimal for, say, 440Hz and just put up with it being good enough frequencies around this?

Ah, looking at section A.4.8 and A.4.9 of the Single-Supply Circuit Collection, the solution could be to use a JFET instead of a resistor across the cap.
