Yes !

And it's part of the Jupiter-8 and Juno-6, too.
But then again, they way how you implement it can make a big difference.
When I'm increasing the Resonance on my Juno-6, there is not that Minimoog
style bass loss, but the OTA filter is overloaded in a way which I
personally
find not overly pleasant. The same thing sounds wonderful with a 2040,
though.
I'm eager to also try it with a moog ladder one day.
