I'm no EE, but aren't pots one of the most expensive parts?? How about a
310 with no VC blend, but with...
3 knobs:
COARSE
FINE
FM (attenuator)
and
5 jacks:
1V/OCT
FM
PWM
SAW
PULSE
Would that work?? This way saw and pulse will both be available at the
same time -- a feature found on every VCO I have ever seen.

You also sell a mixer, which could do the non-VC blending.
However, you cannot do any sort of blending, VC or otherwise, unless the
310 has at least two outputs to blend!!
So an additional output is much more useful than a blend knob.

Couldn't a regular sized PCB be mounted on the back of a 1U module?? Also
couldn't you order PCB's in any size you wanted??

Excellent :)
