[sdiy] Midi octave shift

[Tim Ressel]

I love the yes and no response  ;-)

I should have mentioned that front panel space is at a premium and 
adding a button and 5 LEDs is a cringe.

I guess since I have coarse and fine adjustments for when its in CV 
control mode, I can use those for octave and note offsets in USB mode. 
Just quantize the coarse knob for octaves and maybe leave the fine as 
+/- 1 octave continuous.

If you had a bunch of these modular MIDI-input oscillators, it might be handy to be able to set up chords or intervals easily, though,don’t you think? You couldn’t do that by transposing the controller output.
