[sdiy] MIDI VCO Control - but not CV?

[cheater cheater]

Harry,
this is not about midi sync.
This is syncing to a pulse generator that has the pitch dictate by the
incoming midi note.

Also, this is about trying to sync the core only - shouldn't that work
well? The later shaping etc that goes into making the triangle/saw a
sine wave would work as usual...


Cheers
Damian
