duh, I'm confused.

duh, I'm confused.

Ok, I think I have suddenly gone insane. True or false: The only
difference between the input labeled "FM" and the input labeled "Pitch CV"
on a Doepfer or Modcan VCO is the former is exponential and the latter
linear.

I had thought this was false and an "FM input" is actually some kind of
magic that does something to add frequencies and "can tell" how fast the
input into it is varying or something. Now I think it is true and I was
just suffering the effects of too many PDE homework sets at once.

Help, I don't understand anything :)

But I still want three input CV mixers, anyway.

thanks & peace,

Now I have really gone insane. Of course this is the reverse of what I
meant.

Sorry to babble on so much. Math grad school is eating my brain.

FM = Frequency Modulation. Can be *either* lin or exp. I use it as a general
term.

On the '300, there are 2 exp only FM inputs, and 1 FM input is switch
selectable.

All 3 are summed together to form the "master control voltage" for the VCO.
The point I was getting at is the '300 has a 3-input CV (not a VC'd) mixer.
