MOTM

That's true of most filters.  It is certainly true of Moog ladder
filters.  Which is why I think it would have made much more sense if
the 490 had only one input jack and an input level knob.  The 490
always seems to sound as though the input is not loud enough (and
MOTM mixers like the 830 and 890 have little or no gain).  So I'm
always patching in some sort of amplifier before the inputs.  Multing
the same signal to more than one input also works.  Which would be
the same as putting the input resistors in parallel.  While I could
change some or all of the input resistors to 5K, I don't think
lowering the input impedance of the module is such a good idea.
Would it be better to increase R5 to a larger value, or would that
cause other problems??  Any ideas??


Thanks :)
