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..
