The timing caps are C1, C2, C3 (.0047).  You could make those bigger.  But 
better would probably be to work through the control current.  You could 
use an audio taper or a 10-turn pot for the rate control.  Or you could add 
a "fine" rate control, say a small pot in series with the rate control.  Or 
you could drive the rate from a standard expo converter with coarse and 
fine controls.

Well, I definitely want to hear those, of course.  You might post them on 
the e-music.com forum.  We could also probably get Scott to put them up at 
bridechamber.com.

Thanks for doing that!
