That's a great idea.  I've been using the output of my A174 joystick 
in the same way. But a clock voltage, unlike the joystick, is always 
fixed, so you can count on the intervals on the CV2 pot being the 
same every time you use it.  And, you don't use up an output on the 
174.

The A110 info page on the website says that the range of the tuning 
pot is "+/- 1/2 octave." I used to think there was something wrong 
with my A-110s, or that I had an older version.  Now, I think it 
must just be a typo or a mis-translation.  The website should 
say "+/- 1/2 STEP."

I personally think that the A110 should have a wider tuning range 
from the factory.  A +/- one fifth range, combined with the octave 
switch, would give access to all pitches in the range, without 
making tuning too fiddly.  Works on the minimoog.  

While we're at it, connecting +5v. to the CV2 switched input would 
make the CV2 knob a wide range tuning knob whenever it is not being 
used as a CV attenuator.  Zeroing the CV2 knob and centering the 
fine tuning control would give the nominal pitch.  I think I'll try 
this on mine. Does anybody have any ideas of what would be the 
optimal resistor values to use to get a reliable 5v. from the 12v. 
supply without loading it too much?
