Yes, the MX224 is *definitely* bad for 1V/oct signals. For example,
say I route my midi controller 1V/oct out into my oscillator's 1V/oct
in. I play C6 on my keyboard. It plays a perfect C6. Now imagine
sending the 1V/oct from my midi controller to the MX224 and then to
the oscillator. That C6 will become 25 cents out of tune. Ok, well why
not just retune the oscillator back to C6? Well... C5, C4, C3, and C2
notes will all be randomly offtune +/- 5 cents. MX224 causes pitch
tracking to become worse.

Also, for inverting a signal, MX61 is more accurate but if you send a
1v/oct signal, it will drop 40 cents, a little more than the MX224...
so why would I want to keep my MX224? Let me think... Oh yeah. It's
really good for routing signals, but I think won't buy another one.

MODEL 31 BUFFERED MULTI? NOW THAT IS A FRIKKIN AWESOME MODULE! kthx.
