ah, i was just thinking (specifically in terms of my #300 vcos) that as my
181 keyboard gives out a specific voltage when you press "A", then i could
duplicate that voltage for convenient tuning
but come to think of it, i think i missed the all important second portion
of the idea which was to also provide a tuning reference, which makes the
whole thing way too complicated and hence useless - damn
which is exactly what i bought a frequency counter for in the first place
