I added the cutoff pot to the poly 800 (haven't gotten around to the
resonance knob though....  It works well, except that it kind of
de-stabilizes the oscillator at the very high end of the 100 k variable
resistor.   Nifty, though I dont use the poly 800 much... I was kind of
'experimenting' by connecting random chip pins when I had it apart and
kind of wiped the memory, and I havent gotten around to re-loading from my
save-tape (which is currently lost...) 

It does work... mut IMO it doesn't really improve the sound of the machine
that much...  I was never too fond of the poly-800's filters...
