I find on my Mini, the different levels on the VCO mixer changes the tone a
lot
at very low levels its  clean, sweet and bright. Wet like a Roland :)
At higher levels you get that slightly overdriven, mushy sound
of a typical Mini type sound.

maybe that's one reason, for the different tonalities :)

The same thing kinda applies to the A6 as well... just not as drasticly.. ;)
Keep the VCA  (ENV3 level) 65 and under for sweetness
