That is true as long as all semitone intervals correspond to the same 
voltage difference of 1/12 V. But there is no reason why you could not 
use a controller assigning a different selection of control voltages to 
the notes in the octave. There is nothing "inherent" in the ASM-1 VCO 
that prevents you from thus using e.g. Pythagorean instead of equally 
tempered tuning.
