Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Korg MS20 to control doepfer synths?

I think it works in theory.  It might be hard to get the tracking
exactly to scale though.

I was just browsing the Doepfer site and found this planned module
that is supposed to have a Hz/V to Oct/V converter function.  Looks
like a barrel of fun.
