The part of the circuit that's always really interested me is the Filter section anyway. The Octave stuff is cool, but I use a POG for that now and it's a bit better at I think.

More rare, and certainly more cool than the microsynth is the Bass version I think. I'd love to have one of those.

Dont quote me but its apparently only a small number of part subs to convert either to the other

Yup, i'll quote you  :P

That's correct to the best of my knowledge.

I've done the mod - and can confirm it is a s simple as 4 parts. the bass version seems to track better on guitar too.

I'll have to dig up my notes, i found the mod on another forum, but the part numbering was different between the bass synth schem, and the micro synth PCB, so it did take a little bit of tracing.

I also modded my synth for true bypass, and wired the power LED as an indicator for bypass / effect

"There seems to be some incorrect information around ...
According to the factory schematic, the following parts need to be changed for the bass-version:
C6=2u2 (1u)
C7=1u (0.47u)
C8=0.1u (0.056u)
R62=12k (2k2)"

got the schem around here somewhere as well...
