don's idea of a useful musical range. actually in the 259 there's
crazy hybrid timbre circuitry, maybe it would go bonkers if you tried
to clock all the CMOS stuff any faster

yep... but you have to take all those labels with a large chunk of
salt, each module was calibrated (or rather not really calibrated) to
wildly different places.... my 258's certainly don't go to 20k.
