Now THAT is seriously great idea. One thought, I think that a "Moog"
should be the abbreviation for "volt-per-octave" rather than standing
for "1 volt-per-octave." This makes it a unit of measurement along the
lines of Hertz or things like that. For example, "the VCO tracking of
an EML 101 is set to 1.2 Moog, whereas the Minimoog and vintage ARP
and Oberheim equipment is 1.0 Moog. Curiously enough, the later
Micromoog and even the new Moog Voyager are set to 0.98 Moog."

I like it. So who do we write to and bug?
