Well, I'm not from the Moog Olymp, but I have built my MidiMini
from the original Minimoog schemos (the VCF part, that is),
and it works.
There is good reason the R6, C9 filter for the left side of the
differential amp, because the filter output signal is related to the
positive supply, and not to GND. The right part of the differential
amp has no output, so connecting it directly to the dirty +10V
is ok. Therefore I think the schemos are right.
Just my opinion - never looked into a real Minimoog.
