Syntecno TeeBee and Arp Oddy tuning prob

Well, it seems as though I have had this problem forever, but I wanted to
get to the bottom of it since I want to start using my Oddy a bit more in my
compositions.

Seems like I tune my oddy from one C note to the next, and the C notes all
match up completely with my Nord and with the scope, *but*, all the notes in
between the C notes are just crap, and the further you get from the C notes,
the worse it gets!

I thought that perhaps I had the thing set to V/Oct, but, just to make sure,
I set it to Hz/Volt, thinking that it might clear up and maybe there was a
manual misprint, but I don't believe it to be a misprint at all.

Could the DACs have that much linearity problem as to cause this to occur?

Im going to try the output of the other CV out, and see if it responds
properly, but I would hate to waste a CV out.. Well, at least if it *is* a
nonlinear DAC, I can exchange it fairly easily since all the ICs use really
good augat machined sockets.
