Hello,

After much much deliberation, I am now with monomachine ;)

I'm sure that somebody else has reported this bug... so I'm posting 
the question here:  Is VO-6 _extremely quiet on your MnM?  I read the 
previous posts about adjusting AMP and WOFS, Decay and release, and 
it is now audible, but very, very quiet.  It is almost as if they 
bumped up the volume on the unit for rev. 0.92, but forgot to do so 
for the VO-6 synth?  I tried a warm reset.  Any other ideas?

Otherwise, I have been digging this beast immensely.  Thank god it 
came the night before a holiday... I'll have plenty of "family time" 
with it today!

Getting your head around the VO synth begins with the envelope params.   
VO likes long HOLD and DECAY times, and will seem very quiet of they're  
short.

Also play with consonant length, and for nice inflections on certain  
syllables in longer phrases, play with the filters to get some  
enunciating around the bass side of a bit of sound or around the high  
end (resonance on the higher end of the spectrum with lighter tones  
like vowels and S and H and so forth, heavier on the lower end with M  
and N and things like this).

Hopefully this is helpful.

Yeah, it helps.  I have it making all kinds of really quiet vocal 
sounds now.  But what I really want to know is, even when it is set 
perfectly, spouting out "Mah-nooo-maaa-sheen", is it still 20 dB 
quieter than the other synths?  If not, maybe I should re-install OS 
0.92?

Well, I haven't noticed any significant difference, but I'm not even 
sure I've messed with the VO-6 since installing .92.  I've been 
primarily focused on the FM synths.

I'll crawl into my studio this evening and comp them.  Maybe I can 
email you a sysex dump of what sounds good and loud on mine (assuming 
it does) and you can comp it against yours?
