Oh!  Well, I get my ideas form Magnus.  :-)

Yeah, you should be able to get 10 pulses that way.  Of course you get 
these high frequencies just at particular CV's.  The modulation must be 
pretty interesting near those points.

Right.  Doesn't sound like a big problem, though.

There are lots of interesting things to try with the 3914.  Think about 
feedback!
