(but > worse) Just an FYI, I've read, and I don't even have a micromoog, that Moog Music intentionally designed it to respond to slightly less than 1v/ oct because they figured it would be easiest to trim an variety of incoming voltages if it were a good bit lower than 1v/oct.. I guess the thinking was if your incoming signal was too low and the micromoog was at 1v/oct then you'd need active circuitry to amp the signal. You may want to check with the Moog forum @ moogmusic.com - you'd probably be able to find out what people are doing with the freqbox. In the back of my head, even with the Voyager, for whatever reason there was some oddness with the CV inputs and 1v/oct. that they compensated for with the vx-351 Personally, I'll always try to adjust the incoming CV before I re- calibrate what it's going into. Not a direct criticism on what you are trying to do, but frequently on the net it seems the default answer is to "calibrate" something that might be okay, or simple to compensate the input for because it doesn't track to a CV that hasn't been checked out and may have a host of potential issues. I do agree that there are too few easy solutions out there to adjust to vintage gear levels, for instance dealing with much hotter gates used years ago
