I purchased this module when it first came out and I thought it was great, except that the attack time was a wee bit too slow. I was surprised when I found on the Doepfer site a page which shows a way to mod the Attack/Decay time by changing one capacitor value. Here's the page:

What if I lower the value of the cap? I wanted to ask if anyone has done this and what value did they use. I'm really hoping that it's possible to make the attack a bit more snappy (like 1ms) because the module is great but the attack time is too slow for my personal use. I'd love to hear any responses regarding this.
