You don't give the date Ms. Carlos recorded this.. As memory serves Craig Anderton published the plans for this exact same style controller in electronotes back in 72 or 73? He even manufactured and sold same for several years by his company "Royal Union Electronics"? Anyone with sets of old electronotes should be able to dig the plans ecet out..I don't remember what he called his units..I do think they did have built in vco's I do know they had at least a couple push buttons for gate/triggering..
