Re: [korgpolyex] moog slayer pots

2006-04-08 by jure zitnik

dunno, haven't had a chance to play with an oberheim, but AFAIK
they're all 12db/oct so it could be closer to that, yeah. the sound is
much more raw and dirty. it's also quite a bit louder so it overloads
differently and sooner. i'm totally charmed by it!
and it's really an easy mod - just put a switch from PIN5/PIN6 of the
filter IC before the C103 cap. i'll probably try to put a pot there to
mix the 2 signals. it should be interesting due to the different phase
responses from the filters.
