Notes: A spectral processing playground.

Bandit is a fun combination of band-pass filters, VCAs, and routing options.

It serves multiple functions including equalizer, crossover, multiband VCA, 4 band spectral mixer, and spectral external FX insert point.

It allows you to:

Cut or emphasise different frequency bands of a signal, acting as a voltage-controlled equalizer/isolator.
Split a sound into four different frequency bands for external processing, and if needed, insert them back
Mix four different signals with predefined tone placement in the mix.
Create four different sounds from one sound source by modulating the volume with four different envelopes.
Create evolving timbres by modulating one or more frequency bands using LFOs or audio-rate modulation.
