hello matthew,
that's what i said to dieter!you can't have
everything.i,too,prefer the buchla 259 module,even if
it track for about 4 octaves only.but dieter was a bit
sceptical,if such a vco would make any proper
sales,so,please,vote in our new poll,to show him if
you really want such a vco with 4 octave
tracking!otherwise we will have to settle for an a111
expander module that ,in combination with the a111
triangle output, will produce similar (?) sounds to
the buchla 259,possibly,but it will track properly for
many octaves,of course.
