Good idea. You would definitely need a depth control
on the pitch bend. What is the max pitch bend? 1
octave? More?

Also good ideas.

Well, I had planned to have two rotary switches that
would create octave and note offsets, and a pot for
fine tuning. But then I wondered if that space might
be used for better stuff. I can put the switches/pot
thing on its own module.
