and i've come up with some questions.

With the moogslayer mod (don't have it, hope to get it) what exactly
is being adjusted? Is turning the resonance and cutoff knobs exactly
the same as tweaking the variables in the menu for these same values?
Does the range increase? From what it sounds like, the knobs must
adjust like ten times the range of the menu, turning the range of
values in on themselves, creating a time-space vortex, unifying sound
and matter, and sonically interrupting the molecular structure of
small children and pets. Does that sound about right? More
importantly, does the installation of the knob make it impossible to
use the menu to set these parameters, can you get back to an
"unmodded" position and work the instrument in a "stock" manner?

I see a whole bunch of those little pot switches on the circuit
boards, and i was wondering if each one represented a new opportunity
for adjustment via knob?

I've noticed that you can adjust some parameters in real time via the
menu, while others cut out and back in if you adjust them. For
instance, you can adjust the resonance and cutoff of the VCF in real
time, holding a note down and hearing the difference as you adjust,
but if you adjust anything about the delay (or indeed even switch to
one of these parameters in the menu), the effect pauses and then comes
back. Is this the difference between the digital and analogue portions
of the unit?

What i'm kinda hoping is to find that anything you can adjust on the
fly will have a circuitboard pot associated with it, and i can install
a bank of knobs to control other parameters like say the MG frequency.
What do you think?

When installing these mods, what specific type of solder and iron do i
use?


hmm. That's enough for this post.
