AH HA! Now I understand!

I'd still like a sync input, but at $159 for a great VCO, who can complain! 
I'm sure I'd be buying some of these as well as the MOTM 300s.

Last night I tried different PW settings (with no PWM) and, without any 
timbre modulation I find I much prefer square waves -- richer, more full 
bodied (can't think of any more coffee metaphors at the moment). So I'm 
wondering if you tend to use one setting such that maybe a switch could give 
you appropriate settings like SQUARE, 70%, and LEAD, or if the pot is really 
worth it -- inquiring minds want to know.
