I'm not that familiar with the USG, but I guess great minds think alike :)

Is that necessary?? If the output is square, then HOLD controls rate. If
the the output is saw, than either UP or DOWN (depending which way the saw
goes) controls rate. If the output is TRI, then you need to use a mult on
both UP and DOWN. The design isn't conducive to an overall rate control,
as it doesn't contain an oscillator. Although I guess one could send a
common voltage to all three timimg parameters, but that would add another
jack. Of course, one could add even more features and make it 2U.
