> But in fact you are right with the SH-101, it uses lin potentiometers for the waveform mixer. And especially there is no economical or technical reason, why Roland did not use log potentiometers in the mixer. For instance the potentiometers for the LFO-amount at the VCO and at the VCF _are_ 100k log sliders. So they had the right (log) parts in the drawer, but used the linear ones for the mixer - assumingly on purpose.<br>

</span>Good points, and an interesting example.<br>

Although the polysynth mixing-separate-VCOs situation is different, perhaps it isn’t *so* different, and maybe linear response makes more sense/feels better.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>They probably want the signal level into the filter to be fairly the same regardless of the setting.</div><div><br></div><div>/mr</div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
