I don't remember the module that well but I used Moogs Model 12 and Model 15
and I seem to remember the ten pot pattern. Another idea is it may have been
the instructor had read the manual for the 914 and applied those
characteristics to the other module.
But I did some empirical research and found that 250 Hz is "about" B and 350
Hz is "about" F (????). You like tritones? Well, I just got these numbers, so
how about them tritones?
And I hadn't even heard that "Marks a lot" had been knighted.

PS, And for colored washers, I like the idea of painted washers in the seven
colors of the rainbow (though I've never been able to pick out more than 5 or
6 colors from a rainbow). These might not be the best color choices for use
under stage lights, however.
