[sdiy] Interesting article on top octave generators.

[Mike Bryant]

Sounds like they possibly started with the Railback piano tuning curve where it would be 30 cents sharp at the highest notes, but eased it back for some reason, possibly to the point where it was just audible to the trained ear but no more.

It's interesting that the Juno 106 oscillators (they're VCOs really, hard-synced to a digital clock) are generally about 1.5-2 cents sharp with the tuning set to dead centre zero, over most of their compass. They're about a cent flat in the lowest octave and rapidly stabilise at about 1.5-2 cents, and then are wildly out to even about 5 cents sharp in the highest notes.

I doubt you'd hear that.
