State variable filter with audio and super low frequency modes
2164SVF is an open-source printed circuit board by JordanAceto, from the JordanAceto/SSM2164-SVF repository on GitHub, published under the CC-BY-4.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 58.4 × 99.1 mm with 77 parts on 48 nets, routed with 389 tracks and 60 vias.
It is built around the TL072, PJ301M-12 and 1N4148W, with the BAT48 among its other parts. Its parts include 25 capacitors, 25 resistors, 8 connectors, 6 diodes and 5 ICs. It belongs with the audio and music boards of this library.
State variable filter with audio and super-low-frequency modes.

Eurorack friendly pcb with mouting holes if flying wire construction is desired.
Range switch allows for super low frequency mode, which can be used as a sine wave LFO, or for creating "bouncy ADSRs", etc.
When used as a sine LFO, note that the band-pass and low-pass outputs are 90 ° out of phase with each other, and the high-pass and low-pass outputs are 180 ° out of phase. With a couple of inverters you can have 0 °, 90 °, 180 °, and 270 ° outputs.
Note that the amplitude of the self oscillation is not perfectly flat across the frequency range, and may even peter out at very low frequencies. Additionally the sine wave appearing at the band-pass output is a little lower in amplitude than the other two. Don't expect amazing performance as a quadrature LFO, but I still find this to be a useful feature in a small system.
