OK, I have decided to make a modification of the LFO range, but it seems like this modification was only mentioned in passing somewhere, so I will have to be intentive here, and would appreciate any help from seasoned PolySix modificators. The idea is to make an alternative frequency range available by augmenting the LFO speed capacitor with another with a smaller value. I want to be able to take the LFO into the audio range. Any good suggestions for an alternative cap value? Maybe 1/10th of the original cap value is suitable? Could/should an even lower value be used? I know from the MiniMoog that the faster the modulation freqency, the wilder it will sound. (My best Mini modulations are with osc3 in positions 8', and especially 4'). To make this a reversible and switchable modification, I plan to replace the LFO speed pot with one of the type that has a push-pull switch inside too, so that by pulling the pot the LFO goes into the desired FM range, pressing it returns to normal range. This could be achieved by putting the new small capacitor in series with the existing one and using the switch to bypass the old capacitor, leaving only the new smaller one in the line. Any comments to this. Anything I should be aware of before I do this? Thanks Frank Carvalho
