I found a patching trick to do this.  For spikey sounds, use EG3 to modulate (increase) the feedback.  EG3 is tied to the VCA so you get that "punch" that a real Minimoog does.  I have a model D Mini to compare with and this patch works pretty well.  This tip is in the T&T document and this would work with polyphonic patches.

Using the headphone output would work for monophonic sounds, but 1) the A6 does not have a separate headphone control like the Minimoog and 2) the headphone level would be way too hot to control easily.

A better idea would be to use one of the voice outputs fed back into ext audio, IE voice 16 to ext filter input 16.  You can control its volume independent of the master volume and you can leave the patch cord there without affecting other sounds.
