We have analyzed the Sound Effects Filter from the one-of-a-kind RCA Mark II sound synthesizer and modeled it as a Wave Digital Filter using the Faust language, to make this once exclusive device widely available.

Building on these, we proposed a number of extensions to the circuit which increase its usefulness in music production.
