For my seq. I used 100K pots with 1Meg resistors. I never had (or noticed) a
problem with noise - but then I have no facility for muxing in external
audio to one of the rows, I only using it for generating CV's. >>

Hello Chris -

Why did you want the pseudo-log curve on your CV pots?  I would think that 
linear pot response would be best for tuning pitches (when driving 1v/octave 
inputs... you're not using linear VCO's, are you?).  With linear pot 
response, you get an equal amount of pitch change for an equal amount of pot 
travel.  For example, if the total CV range is 2 octaves, the pot will have 
24 equally-spaced sections of travel, giving a total of 24 half steps.  This 
should make it easier to find the desired pitches, especially if one doesn't 
have a CV quantizer.
