That's a good idea. When I had finished the backend and envelopes,
I asked myself why haven't I added these VCOs. But that's what happens
when you decide to build your veroboard with the pots mounted on it to fit
into a 19" rackmount enclosure - you can't add anything later on.

I still think they are part of its sound.

Using capacitive loaded 3080's with capacitive positive feedback
results in a monoflop with "rounded" output pulses. Haven't simulated
that part yet, but the waveform drawing in the schemos suggests
something like that. What is it for ? To prevent spikes ?
Just guessing.
