I was going to do both of these as well, but realized Wednesday that I only had one 50k pot and no decent-looking switches.

I removed the wrong capacitor the first time...hahaha whoops..but it wasn't hard to fix...I
need all the soldering practice I can get...
I changed the design a bit from the instructions...I actually took the capacitor right off the
board and wired it up on the switch terminal side--seems much more sturdy that way to
me...
Moog Slayer? heh nice try...not even close... The machine definitely sounds way better in
12 db/oct mode though ... I probably will never flip the switch back to 24 except to hear
how much better it sounds when I switch it back to 12 :) Seriously everyone, do the 12/24
mod if you haven't done it...the difference is not really subtle at all...The board sounds
much more "open" in 12 mode...To my ears the filter on the poly sounds quite "closed" by
nature so this really helps....maybe its just the weird envelope structure...
The resonance is totally over the top...way, way, way over the top really...I don't know
what the big deal is with self resonance personally...apparently this is desirable to some
people. Who exactly?, I donno, but I have no problem listening to some serious flying
through space acid-psi tracks and this resonance is WAAAAAY to much for me...
I definitely think we need a "tame the resonance" mod. Any ideas anyone? Can we just
throw a resistor in there somewhere?
Off to the electronics store tomorrow for the final project, for now anyway, "Missing
Joystick Board 'mod'"...I'll yet you know how that one goes...thanks for your help Mike...
