Miniwaves are not vcos

I have a few wavetable vco pbs for  the proper individual.  It is pretty
simple ,  takes a 2716 or 2720 wavetable.  one can easily clone , 
Basically Identical to Digigsound or Ken Stones (Sasami). and I think
Modacan (not sure)

I've explained this several times, but let's be clear:

It is correct that the MiniWave is not a VCO - it requires one to 
drive it only if you are using it to play back wavetables. It also is 
NOT a clocked wavetable device like the DigiSound VCDO or Modcan. The 
wavetable position is determined directly by CV, not by advancing the 
count on an internal clock. THAT'S why the MiniWave is much more 
flexible than a clocked device, and why it can do things like 
quantize an input voltage into scales, or perform Serge-like 
transform functions.

It is an arbitrary transfer function generator, with the transfer 
functions encoded into ROM. No more, no less!
