[sdiy] Q: oscillator bank

[Scott Gravenhorst]

A partial example of this is the PAiA FatMan synth.  It uses 2 VCOs both
driven by the same linear control voltage.  All that is needed is to create
an expo converter that makes a voltage from the normal current output to
drive the linear CV input to the VCOs.  Full details at http://www.paia.com
