This is one of my favorite uses for the 320 LFO.  I think of it as that sub
oscillator when a square wave just won't do.  Hook it up right with your
VCOs 1 volt/oct keyboard CV.  Either sync it to your lowest tuned VCO or use
a pulse divider off of one of your VCOs to get the sub oscillator frequency
you desire and use that to sync your 320.  Sync is necessary as the 320 was
not designed to be a perfect 1-volt-oct trackable VCO.   But, it is close
enough to track well when sync'ed.

The if you realy want some fun, use another 320 LFO output into the audio
range 320 shape control.  Now you have PWM on your sub oscillator - not just
on pulse, but on saw and sine as well.
