There are two Linear CV Inputs on the Model 15 - it's the two with the bipolar attenuators, 
both labeled FREQ VC

Good to see you posting here, Chris!

Oh shit - I screwed that up it's the other way around and I do have to change the site.

I just noticed that Electronic Musician Magazine also had it backwards.

This is a little embarrassing, bites my on the ass all the time, but as some of you may 
know - I am dyslexic.  It sounds really daft, but any time I've got to either read, speak or 
write anything sort of polar information (left/right, up/down, yes/no - positive input of an op amp/negative input of an op amp), my brain freezes a bit.  If I don't make a strong effort to review what I've just said, it's wrong. If any of you also suffer from this, you know that being aware of which is correct and communicating it are two different things.  For people who don't have this infliction it's sometimes hard to comprehend, so:

In electronic terms, the data goes in and can be processed correctly - but the 
outputs are out of phase.  there ay go.

Sorry for that error, Chris.  The bottom line, it can do both.


 that you know what the answer is,

Is there really no linear FM on the Model 15? The Model 15 page on 
the ear-group site says that there's a "Separate expediential [SIC] 
FM input", and makes no mention of linear FM.

I'm addicted to dynamic depth linear FM, and I'm not too proud to admit it.

So, I'm still a little confused. Reading a little further down this thread, I see that RSA says that the FM Jack is linear FM (which I would hope and expect). And I assume that the two CV inputs are really exponential.

Thanks Peter, it's good to be here (I've been lurking for a while.)

As you may have surmised, I'm considering what to get for a suitcase-sized Eurorack system to compliment my Buchla. The Plan B family of modules seems to be shaping up quite nicely. It's really close to being a complete system, I would only have to get a couple of modules from other designers.

I still haven't figured out what to do about voltage & trigger conversion to allow the Buchla to integrate with the Eurorack system.
