Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

I am not talking about the output of the synth.

I am speaking about the master clock that the TG uses to produce the various 
note frequencies.

Those note frequencies are indeed square wave before they enter into IC4/5. 
Check it out for yourself.

Put the output of you Poly 800 into a scope and you will
see that your Poly will never output a square wave, looks
more like a fuzzy saw wave, anyways, finding a way to
modulate the wave shape will be of great value, sure thing.

if this is being discussed, any plans to add pulse width?
(to original DCO)
eg: if the square is produced by a comparator, varying the 
input compared to will vary the pulse width. maybe 
simething similar is possible here?
