Hi All,
After my Polysix be velocity sensitive, I was really grooving on additional responsivness in the electric piano (EP) and clav sounds from my Polysix. But those EP and clav sounds weren't quite right...they were too clean. I needed a little more compression and more grit. So, I started to look into modifying the Polysix to give me some overdrive or distortion.
My first try was diode-based distortion. If you're interested, you can check out my write-up and audio demos here:

In the end, I decided that I didn't like the diode distortion. Oh well. I'll have to try something else. I think that my next attempt will be to add an overdrive capability to one of the LM13600 OTAs. We'll see if that sounds any better.
Does any of you use an overdrive or distortion for certain sounds with your Polysix?
