Hi!

While reading this once again with a little more thought,
I got a little puzzled by these 1.5V/oct...
Sure you didn't mean 1.5oct/V? :)

I mean normally you can attenuate a CV input down (CCW) to almost
infinity V/oct and on the other end (CW) up to a 1:1 relation with the
input CV...

This also leads me to a question... what figure (V/oct) do you get when
turning the FM attenuators max CW?

The reason I ask is if you want to create a real fast, snappy frequency
sweep
using an EG (a' la Kraftwerk percussion) you only have 0-5V CV span from
the EG, and that would give you 5 octaves sweep using a 1V/oct input...a
little to little IMO.

I know this isn't really a problem as you can rescale the inputs to your own
taste by choosing a different summing resistor value, but I'm still
curious...
