I thought that the CEM VCO's for the JP-6 and MKS-80 were selected for
how well they would behave using Roland's hard sync.  Chips that would
not sync properly would still be perfectly suited for the SH-101 and
MC-202, where no syncing ability was necessary.

I don't know where I heard it, and I have no idea why I would remember
such a factoid.
