Subject: Background Info on MOTM VCO's??

From: "Black_Man_Music@..." <black_man_music@...>
Date: 2002-08-16

I have some questions for some of the old-timers with
regards to design decisions made with the VCO's.

1) Abscence of 'octave switches'... organ stops...
whatever you want to call them. I know I have used an
analog synth sometime in the distant past that didn't
have them and used the MOTM style coarse control knob.
Not really an issue, just curious and I think I have a
good idea why this was done.

2) Semi-tone range of the fine-tune control. 11
semi-tones?? I know I've never used a synth w/ this
wide range. And this is annoying. Especially if you
happen to accidentally graze one, I find myself (on
some patches) having to pull out the tuner to get them
in tune again.

IMHO, Larry Hendry's VCO mods should become the
standard. Being an 'assembled' person, unfortunately
they were not an option.

Thanks!
