The Prologue polyphonic synthesizer features a voltage control filter (VCF) employing an original topology. This paper examines its circuit and extracts a flowchart, which yields a set of analog filter equations. From these, the authors were able to develop a transfer function to describe its ideal linear time-invariant form. Then a linear digital version of the filter to validate the analysis was put forward. Noting that the filter operation within the synthesizer is fairly nonlinear, a number of modifications yielding a nonlinear model of the VCF is proposed. These were compared with the outputs of the original analog filter, and it was found that they approximate them consistently.
