Pardon me saying this, but it could be your memory playing a trick on

Well, perhaps, but I do have a tape I made of that MOOG 15, and the 
sound is definitely richer and even coarser than what I can easily 
get with the dotcom.

Thanks for your information about the comparison of the dotcom and 
Moog oscillatiors in your system. I've gotten pretty much the same 
favorable comparision from Guido and a couple of others, so I can now 
(hopefully) put this subject to rest.

Someone suggested that the "coarseness/richness" I hear on some 
classic Moog recordings may come from the Moog's ladder filter or 
distortion within the Moog VCA. Ditto for the Arp 2600. Guido 
suggested running the dotcom osc into my Moogerfooger Lo-Pass filter 
and then into a VCA for distortion and into the mixer....

Thanks, Terje for your detailed explanation and report --
I appreciate it!

 Best,

I'll keep messing about, and perhaps acheive this sound yet!
