No, it's my usual doubt with the EXP pedal...
Anyway I should have understood something, let'see if I got it....

-Among the exp circuit the Vactrol tube has a big importance , not just because it is driven by the pedal but because it seemingly has a relationship with the general volume or the fundamental frequency of the VCOs
-This relationship can justify why with lower notes the sound seems more "filtered" : the Vactrol
has a less emission of light when the volume is low, therefore being the low notes perceived at a lower volume than high notes , the filter network would be driven by the Vactrol even with no pedal CV going on, to get that kind of Loudness compensation.
-So the filter network in the exp circuit are definitely NOT fixed and they track the keyboard , although with regards to the volume...

Hope I was right...
PS: sorry Juergen , you were right but I had to realize these things myself.....
