New VCF AM4023 Filter12dB Low Pass Due to the configuration of the Axxe slider the resonance are inverted (low on the top) and to have a maximum resonance,
the settings of Q is very hight, that will take the filter in oscillation depending of the frequency and the reso.
23 new sliders, Bourns PTL serie with led.  Each color has an individually adjustable trimmer to adjust the brightness. The colors are according to the color code of the Odyssey. All IC excepted VCO, are on sockets for easy change. You can see somes functionals tests on video : As you can see on the viedeo it's fully functional, but as is an old synth (seventies) ,
he has signs of wear typical for this age, but nothing bad.I can't assume guarantee and it's seell AS IS with no return.
