I have noticed that the Pulse Width pot (+15V on one end, Gnd on the other)
swings the pulse output from +5 VDC flatline to a -5 VDC flatline with a not
too bad pulse in between.  I have also noticed that the Pulse seems to shift
voltage out as well.  Being 0 to +10V at one end and +-5V at the other.  I'm
going to try to add a couple resistors to control the swing.

The Sawtooth output is really wierd as it seems to break in half and double
the frequency!  There is also a small glitch at the point where it breaks (0V).

Both waveforms seem to sound interesting though and I'm going to keep them,
but I'm going to try to add an extra 'more normal' sawtooth converter to the
mix.
