2 Res pots?

Post by andrewF »

Has anybody separated the dual Resonance pot and wired it up as two separate pots?
worth it? stupid idea?

i wouldn't do that
the Res pot is dual because it does two things:
1) controls the feedback in the filter (resonance control)
2) smoothens up the Accent signal which modulates the cutoff on accented notes

you can acheive a similar effect if you use the resonance mod (replace R97 with a 10K pot)
when the resonance knob is at maximum - the Accent signal is smoothened, while at low resonance - it's "sharper"
so, boost the R97 pot, and reduce the resonance knob and you get normal resonance but with fast accented cutoff modulation (which isn't so spectacular)

that's if i'm not forgetting something :wink:

Thanks for your advice
I will try it anyway, just out of curiousity, its easy to revert. Wondered if it had been done before.
