I did not mean to start a AH style debate and inevitable flame war! This is my fault!  What I meant by my comment "you did not give thedate of the Carlos recording'  was to clarify whether she or CraigAnderton made/used this style device first..indeed I believe it is mostlikely the unit she used was in fact one manufactured  by Craig'sRoyal Union Electronics, as I do rmember he made them with the big knobmarked exactly as described...as per Craig's legendary designer reputationI strongly suspect these as made by him, were quality , rugged units andat least a small handfull are sitll in use..they would be truly a valuablee bay find!
I hope anyone following this thread with a set of electronotes fromthe earlyest years 72-76 would kinly dig through them for the details...Anyoneknow  Craig or have his e mail address?  Please contact him andinquire.
I am sure many motm's would gladly order schematics from him to buildtheir own.

"Ha"? "Give the date"? I wasn't trying to make a patent declarationon
Carlos' behalf, simply directing those interested to a similar,existing
device recently used on a high-profile electronic music album forresearch
purposes. Lets face it, the broad concept of using a potentiometerto
control the pitch of a synthesizer sound... well, it's not exactlya novel
concept, is it? Tuning knobs? Pitch bend wheels...?

You don't give the date Ms. Carlos recorded this.. As memory servesCraig
Anderton published the plans for this exact same style controllerin
electronotes back in 72 or 73?  He even manufactured and soldsame for
several years by his company "Royal Union Electronics"?  Anyonewith sets of
old electronotes should be able to dig the plans ecet out..I don'tremember
what he called his units..I do think they did have built in vco's I do know
they had at least a couple push buttons for
gate/triggering.
