-===== Testing and Calibrating the VCF ===== 
  
-==== Testing ==== 
-  - Re-attach the power supply (with J4) 
-  - Apply 3volts to R90 (either with 2 AA batteries or a benchtop supply) 
-  - Probe the resonance pot with either a cheap pair of headphones or your oscilloscope. ​ With the cutoff all the way anti-clockwise,​ you should see mostly a sinewave. ​ If you're probing with headphones, you should hear a low, soft tone.  When you turn the cutoff up, you should see a waveform similar to the one you have selected on the VCO.  Using headphones you should hear a lot of higher overtones to the sound, and it might be buzzier and more '​acidic'​. 
- 
-==== Calibrating ==== 
- 
-According to the [[TB-303]] service manual, the resonance frequency should be at 500Hz. 
- 
-  - Set the waveform to saw 
-  - Set Cutoff to 50% 
-  - Set Resonance to 100% 
-  - Apply 3V DC to the VCO (or press the lower C key if your sequencer is done) 
-  - Ajust TM3 so that the resonance frequency is 500Hz
