[sdiy] ASM-1 LFO w/10 turn pots

Just finished wiring up 4 ASM-1 LFO's. I used TL084's, and was able to get
them onto a small circuit board and mounted on a 2U fracrack panel. I was a
little concerned that in using a single TL084 for two oscillators there
might be some tendency to lock up at similar frequencies, but thankfully,
no.

The best part is that I had a few 100k 10 turn pots laying around from an
unfinished project (ever have one of those?) and used those as the frequency
pots. It's really nice to have the extra resolution. Although they're the
most expensive part of an otherwise inexpensive, low parts count LFO, it
certainly increases the usability of the circuit.
