Okay this makes me wonder about something. When required accuracy levels
were mentioned in some earlier posts, was this to simply produce a VCO that
sounded "acceptably in pitch" to a musician with a "good" ear? Or more
extreme, is the  accuracy target one where the VCO would never produce any
audible beating when played alongside a "perfectly-pitched" reference VCO?

later,
Glen
