Somewhere on the internet someone proposed to switch the noise signal but that does not sound very logical to me. I thought to just add a signal to pins 20/21 which are the normal 'signal in' pins.

Build an external filter :-)

By the time you've mucked about with this, you could have built something like the Yusynth Steiner Synthacon clone, which is four transistors, ten diodes and a bunch of passives. Oh, and Yves Usson used it in his design for the Arturia Minibrute!

Now, I wonder if you could replace the 2069 with such a beast. Or even add eight and have a properly polyphonic synth - with suitable software mods.
