Cgs synth

I built two CGS-VCS, and they both have the same issue of pot range. The
pots are also very sensitive at the high end. This is not a very accurate
module, but it is very useful. I use it mostly like an envelope, and it
works great! Check it out in this vid I made. I am mostly playing the two
VCS's. I think I'm modulating the "Fall" rate.
