Damn! That's lung capacity. Are you blue yet? <grin>

You're welcome. It came from necessity as I was having trouble taking that
first step to close. I spent almost an hour tweaking my two 300s to get 8
octaves really good. After Paul spent all that time designing one that
could, I was not going to stop until I had it just right. I was very
pleasantly suprised at how easy the process actually was. Both of my sine
symmetry adjustments actually came out very close to the mid point on the
trimmer. I used the scale on the front of my o-scope glass to judge that
each half was the same width.

If the VCO is a 9 or 10 on the difficulty scale, I guess I can build any of
them.

1) In High School I'd developed amazing lung capacity, but I really don't
remember it that well!
2) No, I'm GREEN with envy over you high rollers who can afford more than my
paltry one MOTM 300 -- so I can't do any tests of Rocket Man's great soft
sync fix.
3) I'd be more "BLUE" if I'd been holding my breath waiting for the PAiA 9700
modular -- which is as almost here as digital TV.

Larry! I tell ya, we could be the Smothers Brothers of EM, or at least the
Martin and Lewis!

When a waveform like sine,
sounds so very fine that's a MOTM!"

Maybe C.F. Martin and Jerry Lee Lewis, eh?

Thinking Paul is now busy whipping up a couple of 300s to test DBs sync fix.
