[sdiy] VCS3 oscillators

[Yves Usson]

Hello (2nd post)

My questions are aimed at those among you who built a VCS3 or SynthiA 
clone
or who are lucky enough to own one of these beasts.

Does the shape control of osc2 and osc3 acts on the shape of the ramp
signal or does it act only on the pulse shape ?

What I understood from the schematic of the oscillator 1 (that can
be found on internet) and from the reading of Jurgen Haible's messages
posted some years ago on this list, the shape control of osc1 only
changes the shape of the sine signal and not of the ramp signal.

I want to build a clone of the VCS3 and I intend to use CA3046 and 
CA3096
transistor arrays in order to reduce the number of parts and simplify 
the
design of the PCB.
Do you consider this would be a complete heresy or an acceptable 
compromise
that would preserve the original sound ?

Thanks for your comments.

Yves
