[sdiy] Suggestions for oscillator coarse control methods?

This is the “Pro-One” solution, more or less. It uses a octave switch for the various octaves (extend as you wish) and a “Frequency” knob with a range of around an octave or so. This is fine enough that you can set sutble beating between oscillators if you are gentle with the knob-nudging. Pretty effective for only two controls.
