I don't remember the module that well but I used Moogs Model 12 and Model 15 
and I seem to remember the ten pot pattern. Another idea is it may have been 
the instructor had read the manual for the 914 and applied those 
characteristics to the other module.

But I did some empirical research and found that 250 Hz is "about" B and 350 
Hz is "about" F (????). You like tritones? Well, I just got these numbers, so 
how about them tritones?

And I hadn't even heard that "Marks a lot" had been knighted.

PS, And for colored washers, I like the idea of painted washers in the seven 
colors of the rainbow (though I've never been able to pick out more than 5 or 
6 colors from a rainbow). These might not be the best color choices for use 
under stage lights, however.

Yeah, the System 12 & 15s tended to use the 907A 10-band.

I personally need washers in the colors of the Teletubbies.
