Hi Dave,

Have already discovered from the schematics how to CV the filter, it is 
relatively straight forward and have got the code for controlling the ocs's so 
could add an ADC although I have been warned that the scaling could be tricky.
This may decide me to get a Kenton unit at last, I really could do with one for 
all my other synths.

Tanks for help..

Cheers...
