the new oscillators do not drift and the input scaling is utterly
consistent. the main problems now arising when attempting accurate
tuning with CV are of a very different nature: jitter etc. arising
from the digital components of the control circuit... but at least you
never have to retune anything; scaling factor and base frequency can
be stored in a preset and accurately recalled.

people have noticed small discrepancies with MIDI pitches as well. i'm
taking a close look at all the scaling in firmware for both
oscillators as part of the next round of revsions (which will be
huge.)

"without a 1.2v/oct scaled output on the 259e or 261e"

just out of curiousity, what does this mean?
