depopulated the power supply section, added ferrite beads and filter

I also changed the calibration trimmer with a nice sealed 20

turn.

Dave,

I have to say that you have made possibly the coolest DIY MOTM module ever.  
No, not the PAIA MIDI2CV module, not the Blacet adaptations -- but this one:

You now have a ready answer for anyone who ever looks skeptically at your 
modular synth and asks "can it make a good piano sound"?

I think you should get one of those <A 
HREF="http://www.kentonuk.com/info/news.shtml#an16">new Kenton CV-to-MIDI circuit boards</A> and piggy-back it onto 
the SC-7 board.  Then you could completely eliminate the MIDI input jack from 
the front panel of that module, replacing it with eight CV input jacks, taking 
things full-circle back to the 1970's!
