Why would anyone do that??

2001-07-16 by Tkacs, Ken

I have a question about a possible mod to the MOTM-101 Sample & Hold that is
probably going to make Paul scream.

This would be for us "Mort Subotnick" / "Forbidden Planet" heads.

Obviously tremendous attention has gone into this module in design and parts
selection to minimize 'droop.'

But would it be possible to add a "Droop" control? You know... at zero it
does nothing, but increasing the value allows the held voltage to "fall off"
more quickly?

Is this as simple as a pot and resistor in series between ground and one
side of C16?


On a side nore, SW1 is noted in the schematic as being "On Panel," but it's
actually a jumper. Was there an electronic reason that this was excluded
from being a panel control...? Or was it a space issue?
