[sdiy] 303 resonance was: emulating bi-polar capacitors

[Richie Burnett]

If you turn up the 5.333v reference level one of the outcomes is that the resonance increases. As you say it also changes lots of other things including the V/octave scaling of the DAC and CV output, because the 5.333v reference gets fed to lots of things.

But the oscillator can be brought back into tune by messing with the TUNE and WIDTH trimmers, (albeit now also with a non-standard V/octave scaling!)

Not recommended (>.<)

-Richie,
