Has anybody bothered to tweak their 410 so that the filter frequencies are all the same when the FREQ pots are all set to the same value? I've noticed that if I pump a 1000 Hz sine wave into my 410s and then adjust the FREQ knobs so that each filter output is at its loudest, the FREQ knob settings vary between 3.0 and 5.0. That's quite a range and makes it rather difficult to correlate a FREQ knob setting to a Hz value when trying to dial up formants for speech synthesis. Since the filter resistors are inside the Vactrol they can't be changed. Changing C6-C8 is unlikely a solution since caps are not available in a wide variety of values with 1% tolerances. It looks like the best solution is to tweak the Vactrol LED current through R54, R57, R60. I was wondering if anybody has already done this on their 410, or has another solution. Or am I just being a nutcase?
