[sdiy] Moogey jitter

[harrybissell]

I perceive (lol) that those VCO with very simple structures
like the UJT based etc... that have little or no lag in the
reset time... have the more pure, or thin sound.

UJT is like a nuclear reset... once it gets to that point there
is no stopping it.

Ditto for those with discrete amplifiers. Follow a VCO with an opamp
and you cannot hear a reset faster than the slew rate. I've seen 
cases where this was the limiting factor.
