MOTM

No, I'm not looking for a sequencer.
I have several, BTW.  I also have two Miniwaves.
What I'm talking about is a method of driving a counter from a VCO with 
better accuracy than using the method which is used in the MiniWave, which 
is deriving a count from a VCO sawtooth driving an A to D.
I also think a frequency multiplier could be musically useful in its own 
right, especially when used with a divider module.

A frequency multiplier could also provide the clocking for any number of 
digital based modules such as a Fourier series generator, a Walsh function 
generator, or a cloud generator.

I'm not sure if this would be more accurate than driving a digital based 
module with a DCO, but frequency transitions would be smooth, not stepped.
