i was playing my be----ger 'model d' yesterday with a midi keyboard, and
started thinking about how they keyboard on the original MiniMoog worked.

it was basically a string of resistors, one between each key right? What
kept the pitch CV constant after you let go of the key?

does it use a sample and hold here? the little i know about sample and
hold circuits, they all have a "droop" to them.
http://mysite.du.edu/~etuttle/electron/elect53.htm says ~3mV/s, which
would get pretty noticeably flat after only a few seconds.

i had a quick squiz at the schematic but couldn't see or understand the
relevant section.
