Very interesting, as i have a MKS70 and always find myself wanting to mod it.

Since the juno-6 seems to have a nice full sound dispite its DCO, i was starting to think that to add some fullness to the sound of the MKS70, it would require some J-fet booster circuitry to each voice (pre or post IR3R05, that's the question).

So this idea changing the cap values is another possibility to explore. I will look at the datasheet to learn more.
Another thing interesting to me, would be to add some circuitry to bypass the first 2 cap, to provide a 12db/oct only mode wich is always nice for the pads.
