Polysix envelope mod?

2008-01-09 by Einar Ekström

Hello group,

I'm a brand new owner of a beautiful Polysix that I recently got 
shipped home to Stockholm from Germany. I've been playing it for two 
days now and I really like what I hear and see! Such warmth and 
character to the sound, and the specimen that I got looks almost 
brand new!

Anyway, to get to the question... While digging through the archives 
of this group I found a post talking about an envelope mod to make 
the envelopes faster by changing a few capacitors. There were no 
further details about the mod, nor were there any links, so now I 
wonder if anyone has heard of such a thing? Does anyone know anything 
on this subject?

Allthough I really like the Polysix tone I'd certainly be interested 
in such a mod since I feel the envelopes are rather slow when 
comparing to, for instance my Moog Source, with super snappy attack.

Regards,
Einar
