From Adam:  But apparently I'm the only one who flinches at the idea 
of accidentally plugging a 10V p-p square wave into other equipment, 
so disregard the question.



Adam - you're definitely not the only one -or should I say hopefully 
you're not the only one.

I think the confusion is we've been talking about 'recording' and I 
think you're talking about just 'playing' the thing through various 
recording equipment.

Well if you are just running the "10v p-p whatever wave" from the VCO 
directly into the board (which you probably will NOT be doing - eh?) 
then your board input trims would STILL be the preferred level adjust 
point.

Yet you are more likely to be feeding the board from another module 
in the chain and there will have a LARGE series of 'gain stages' 
which you would have to consider anyways...

That is something anyone must learn about in the recording world - 
even if you're not recording per se, and just playing through a 
board, efx, etc...

So protect all your equipment by learning about "Gain Stages" and you 
will be a-ok.

hope this clarifies some things....
