The dividers were ran into switches and then to a op-amp summer with unity gain on the decade divider and 1/10 gain on the 12 step divider. I used a low drift and accurate voltage reference, good op-amp and hand matched resistors.

I didnt even think of dividing per-note. That could be usefull and I just
happen to have a switch that'd handle that nicely.

To save the matching pain I'll prolly just buy the .01% resistors tommorrow.
If I step down to .05% I can select from more values.  I have a Fluke bench
meter but I havent had it calibrated in a few months so I dont trust it to 3
decimal places right now.
