After doing the recording, I wondered if there was a way to attenuate the LFO voltage coming from the Werkstatt so I could control how much the filter is opening. As it turns out, you can do that by simply running the signal through a potentiometer. Simple!

While there were a couple of problems with the build that I'm not completely happy with, completing this project has really sparked my interest in building synthesizer modules from scratch.
