[sdiy] Innovative Oscillator Design (or not ?)

[mjbauer at iprimus.com.au]

Thanks for your reply, Hannes. I looked at the patent. It describes a 
method to switch different CV sources to a conventional VCO. There is no 
PWM to control the integrator slope, so my idea doesn't violate Moog's 
patent!
