CC out from knobs isn't very common feature in synths, NRPN is the usual way due to the MIDI spec, number of parameters and their value ranges. Anyway, the actual problem is Ableton Live not supporting MIDI properly, not so much with Srhuthi or any other synth. I've just switched to Live, and this is a bit disappointing, but easily worked around in Shruthi's case- but would be a major issue with any bigger H/W synth with it's own keys and proper controls.
I'll have to check out Bitwig again I guess.

No Shruthi owners with comments on the filter options?
I like the sound of the "default" one, but it's only LP...

I don't have a Shruthi, but I have an Ambika and some of the filters are similar between the two.
I have 6 SVFs and 3 SMR4 boards but I prefer the SVFs. The SMR4s are 4-pole low pass filters so they sound bit darker and the resonance is not as aggressive as the SVFs. The SMR4s are better for bass but I don't really need that in a polysynth.
The SVFs are 2-pole state variable filters with Low, Band and High pass modes. I really like these filters but I generally prefer 12dB/Oct filters anyway. There are some demos of my Ambika with the SVF filters in the 3amnoise link in my signature.
I'm sure you've already seen it, but here is a run-down of the different filter boards (I'm not sure which are currently available): http://mutable-instruments.net/shruthi-filters

I'd really like to try the 4-Pole Mission filter for the Shruthi. The version for the Ambika is only a lowpass filter and it doesn't have audio rate modulation. I'd also like to try the LP2+Delay, which is based on the Sallen-Key topology, and the MS-20 filter has always been my favorite.

Thanks!
Looks like the Tubeohm kit selection I'm picking from is different from the original MI filter selection.

There is a dual filter, but it doesn't seem to be an SVF design even if it's mentioned in the docs.
The 4PM is probably the most practical choice, but I'd probably like that LP2+delay too.

I'm not sure how much shipping will be to Finland but Modular Addict has the Laurentide version of the Dual SVF PCB.

Shipping wouldn't be too bad for such small thing, just a normal snailmail envelope, but ordering the parts from probably two additional places could quickly add to the total. Thanks for the tip anyway, that is an option!
