Good point.

> A linear offset, rather than an exponential one then. The Moog Taurus Mk1 famously had a linear offset control between the oscillators. I can't think of any other synth that has used it, but there are probably one or two others.

The "Beat Freq" knob on Moog Sub 37, the "Linear Detune" parameter in
Elektron Analog Four / Analog Keys, and (as I've read) some parameter
in Kurzweil K2000.
