[sdiy] v/octave standard ?

[TooManySynths]

Hi All,

I'm gonna jump back into my life and think about
synths. Sorry if you are offended.  

I need to figure out how to be able to expect my VCOs
to be predictable in terms of music while retaining
continuous variation in terms of frequency control. I
don't mind doing the fine tuning by ear.  

While I realize that each volt doubles the frequency,
hence another octave, what is the standard for a
setting of 0v?  Further, if you have a VCO that does
not have "octave/footage" settings, then what method
do people use to quickly establish a pitch reference. 


Should I just put little marks on the front panel? Put
a voltmeter on a panel somewhere?

Thoughts?

Thanks
Daryl
