Hi John,

configured as Schmitt Trigger inverter RC oscillator), and "D1M" pots in
the EG section.
> The BOM at the end of the document vaguely mentions "two different
tapers".
> Does anyone have any experience with this model? (a center position pot
reading would be real handy for the tune and decay pots)

Those look like 1M pots with C and D tapers.  You can google around for the
info, here's a handy chart:

C is reverse-log, typical for EQ circuits, while D is a more extreme audio
log taper.

Cheers,
Neil
