I'm overdue to thank the Old Crow myself. Before I bought my first P6 I
searched the web
for info and saw Scott's site. Because of him, I knew what I was getting
into and what may have to be done. Scott's site is just plain great !!!!
Well I now have 3 P6's. Why 3? Well my  2 sons both have one each and I got
a third
for a test bed of sorts, something to experiment with. However my test one
is still not repaired as it had the most battery damage out of all 3. I've
put it on the back burner for a while, to fix some other synths,
amps etc.

Tony, can you keep us up to date on your Midimod as well as the detune
circuit.
I've got a few ideas as well that i will post if they are feasible and work.
Does anyone know the VCO  Control voltage scheme ?
Is it 1 volt per octave? I never got around to measuring what it was.
My idea was to use each CV to run external modular VCO's and synth modules.

anyone
