Now THAT is seriously great idea. One thought, I think that a "Moog"<BR>
should be the abbreviation for "volt-per-octave" rather than standing<BR>
for "1 volt-per-octave." This makes it a unit of measurement along the<BR>
lines of Hertz or things like that. For example, "the VCO tracking of<BR>
an EML 101 is set to 1.2 Moog, whereas the Minimoog and vintage ARP<BR>
and Oberheim equipment is 1.0 Moog. Curiously enough, the later<BR>
Micromoog and even the new Moog Voyager are set to 0.98 Moog."<BR>

I like it. So who do we write to and bug?<BR>
