[sdiy] Voltage + Frequency calibration in common modular systems question.

Hi, right now I'm looking to calibrate a CEM3340 I'm working with on 
breadboards but I'm wondering how others have their oscillators 
callibrated as far as reference frequency to say 1v.

I'm calibrating it to a 1v/oct setup but I'm curious about a common 
reference frequency.

What reference frequency do Moog / MOTM / Synthesizers.com / Blacet / 
Doepfer use, say without any input voltage offset / input signal 
attenuation?

Also what about audio signal voltage levels vs cv voltage levels in 
these systems? I've read that +/-10V control, and +/-5V are a standard 
in Musical Applications of Microprocessors, but I'm wondering how people 
actually have their system set up.

Thanks for the help. I'm down to make a reference grid / web page with 
the info if there isn't one around already, maby help some other people 
out.
