200e

wow, yahoo and google are really battling it out in this text editing
window.... it's all being treated as a bug block of "something", so i guess
i can't quote...

- yes, that is a massive error on the website (jeez...)... the 210e CV
inputs are sampled and MIXED in software, of course (audio inputs aren't
sampleed, they are fed through a VCA array). OR'ing is what happens when you
just touch CV wires together.

- yes, the "resolution" issue just refers to the chosen step size of the
encoder. this (and the curve - it is already logarithmic BTW) can be very,
very easily changed (it's just an infinite encoder that steps through a
table), but it's of course a tradeoff between fine resolution and having to
dial the thing around a lot to get to the maximum value. now that you can
toggle between unity gain and zero, maybe we should reconsider the step size
(opinions/suggestions to 200e_beta, please).

- there is a more or less noticeable buzzy noise cause by leakage from the
datastream which drives the LED grid. don is working on this right now and
has made plenty of progress; there is hope that only a firmware update will
be required (but i'm not sure of the final verdict on that yet.)

- other than the buzz, i don't think the VCA's are particularly noisy except
of course if you overdrive them (which can be fun, too.)
