More FINE Control

More FINE Control

2001-01-01 by thomas white

Hi guys,

What if you left the circuit alone and replaced the single turn "FINE" 
potentiometer to a ten-turn pot? Then you could have all the fine control 
you want within the 11 semitone range. Just an idea inspired by my old Paia 
Fatman and my battles to get its 2 oscillators to avoid locking at close 
frequency. Ha! Not a problem with my 300's I tell ya

That is certainly an option.  The one thing that might complicate it
slightly is the fact that the fine pot IS on the board.  SO you would want
to be careful what kind of pot you selected so that it fit properly.

Or, you could SWAP the fine and course pot resistors so that these pots
changed function and then the pot would be off board so you could use any 10
turn pot you wished, and then hack up the front panel with some label maker
tape to reflect the change..... Nawww..  Just kiddin'.

In a very stooge like mode tonight.
