Actually the switch on my schem at http://www.uta.fi/~helin/scvco.gif
is a 4053. There's also no square out which is the Q out on 4013.
What good be done with the free switch on 4053? With two 4053's
you could build three VCO's. If we use SMD's that thing takes
not much space, too. VCO's for polyphonic synths?
