Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

I was on this list for a while, but ended up selling my Poly800. 
Now I am back, this time with a EX800, it just has a sound you 
fall in love with and have to come back to..

Anyway. I had mod'd the Poly800 with filter and Q knobs, but the 
EX800 is straight. I am thinking of doing the 'moogkiller' mod, 
has anyone here done this? Does it make a big differnce than 
the 'regular' filt/q mods?

thanks

Hi,
it does a difference!
Cutoff goes down until you hear nothing (means very deep).
Resonance: be careful with your loudspeakers or your ears if using
headphones....

I started with the "normal" mod. Then I read from the bigger one and added
the two wires (and 1 resistor as I remember) and it works well.
But I have to say that I still have a 10k and a 100k poti. I think there are
2x50k recommended (don't know if that makes a difference).

I'm uploading a file of factory sound #15. Beginning without any mod
(switched off), the increasing resonance and some sweeping....
(Poor quality because of 32kHz mp3 compressing to 80kb/s)
And sequences with factory sounds 54 and 64 with less resonance at 48kb/s
mono.
So maybe you can imagine now... (see "Files / modsounds")

thanks for the samples, that sounds amazing, I am going to have 
to give that a shot, for the EX800, though I dont' know schematics 
very well...
