[sdiy] Linear response VCOs?

[Roman Sowa]

IMHO linear response VCOs are simply better and easier to use. No 
temperature dependency by design and easier to tune - as long as all 
offsets are small or trimmed, whatever you do, an octave is always an 
octave, not like with exp VCO where you have to turn 3 to 5 trimmers in 
several iterations to get them sound remotely acceptable.

One may say that summing few CV inputs is difficult for linear VCOs, but 
today the VCOs are controlled by microcontroller anyway, so the problem 
of the 1970's is no longer any concern.
