Back to Paul's Idea, how about a module that could produce 4 different
adjustable fixed cv's? As long as the voltages are adjustable you could run
the output into the fm2 jack on the 300 VCO. Setting # 1 could be 0V to
allow the VCO to operate at its normal frequency, settings 2.3 and 4 could
be set by ear to different intervals above the base frequency and then
accessed at the touch of a button. This module would have to be
ultra-stable in order to keep from drifting and what's the use of an
ultra-stable VCO if your cv source is going to drift. -Nate
