Need more bass out of that Micromoog or Multimoog? Title link takes you to a mod that gives it."Micromoogs and Multimoogs have always been adequate for lead lines and noise FX, but they have a "fault" that restricts their ability to deliver bass timbres a'la the classic Minimoog bass. The VCF has a cap on the audio input that provides DC isolation, but it also forms a high pass filter; on the Micro/Multi, the cap is not large enough to allow low frequency components to pass through."
"I compared the modified Micromoog to the Minimoog, and the Micro can easily compete (on a one oscillator level, of course)."
Update via an aononymous reader:
"This mod is just plain wrong.
A bad idea.
There's a reason that Moog put in a .47 uf cap instead of a 100uf cap.
That's over 200 times greater capacity and DC will thump right on in!
.47's are not the most common of caps either. Moog could have easily put in a much more common 1uf or 10uf, but didn't."
