Thank U!
But here is another question: if I want to use it internally, as in my example, where the inputs are hardwired to both, the inverted and noninverted output of my filter, could I get rid of the two unity gain amps just before LM13700? And maybe I don't need the two ac coupling capacitors? Shouldn't it be possible to take the direct signals straight into the lm13700s?

of course. just keep the 100k/220R voltage divider in front of the LM13700 to keep the signal low fpr minimizing distortion.
(depending on your signal and your needs you might even go as low as 100k/100R. just refer to the datasheet)

okay, i decided to do a 12HP version, offering attenuators for all inputs and the AC/DC switches. believe me, you really want all those attenuators!

Hi Fonik. great work indeed from a great TH schematics! the post is a bit old but i was tryng to understand the magic and following the work. mr TH's schematics are based on -+15V supplied, you use -+12V but i don't understand how you get those 12V?

i am missing something!
having hard life to upload the IMG so i will drop it here

It is a Eurorack module, whose system power is already +/- 12V.

Is that what you're asking, where the 12V comes from?

nope, i'm aware of that.
i posted a url with fonik vca's schematic and i read that at the beginning (from the header)the voltage is +-15V and after some the caps it becomes +-12V.
actually pin 1-2 of the Eurorack header should provide the -12V and the 9-10 the +12V .
it just confuses me

I suspect it's an oversight in revising the schematic, since the original was 15V.
