hi olaf,
thanks for those descriptions, they ought to make mods much easier :)
but one thing came to my mind looking at the sketch you drew:
wouldn´t it be easier to solder the original trimpots out and then use
∗them∗ as resistors? would spare the hassle to measure them and buy
resistors of the same capacity.... just a thought....(so don´t "just
destroy them before you damage the PCB!" hehehe) anyway, i read
somewhere that there are even more trimpots which could be redirected
to external pots, here´s a list:
VR1 - DCO Pitch adjust
VR2 - VCF Frequency adjust
VR3 - White Noise level adjust
VR4 - DCO Fine tune adjust
VR5 - VCF resonance adjust
does it make sense to , err.. whats the word.... "externalise" the
other three?
i´m eagerly waiting to get my poly800 delivered (thinking of all this
without even having one :) ), i´ll let you know what i did to it when
it´s here.... hehehe modding all over.....
