====================
jure expressed the most interest in this, so i sent him details off-list.
after i know that the mod works on more than just my own EX-800 i'll make
the mod publicly available.
so... my EX-800 know has 3 extra knobs on the front: FM, Cutoff &
Resonance.
HOT DAMN!!! the FM knob gives it a whole new world of expression and
sounds. it didn't take long before i was getting some DX/TX kinds of harsh
sounds out of it (especially with the moog-slayer resonance turned up).
it's absolutely sick! turned all the way down, it sounds just like it did
before the mod. depending on the patch and how far up the knob is turned,
it can range from subtle to sickening to overwhelming.
i was testing it out with headphones and several times buckaroo bonzai
(the dog) woke up and gave me very concerned looks.
i still haven't decided on a name for the mod... the "DX Slayer"? the
"FM-800"? send me your ideas and you may get mentioned when i publish the
mod.
