RE: [motm] Roland 1 volt/oct accuracy / FM1-FM2 swapped

2001-01-29 by David Bivins

I've built two 420s, two 440s, and a 410 (among many others), and I never
swapped any of those pots. No wonder, I followed the damn instructions and
PCB labeling.

Feeling cheeky, not enough coffee yet, just kidding you, Ken... ;)
