(Like Mr Pearson, I assume that your traditional application is a 
1v/octave pitch response to CV.)
NO,
 I have 2 #3-standard wogglebugs and the CV-to-freq inputs to each of 
the VCO pair are fully employed in the scheme that keeps the two Osc's 
chasing one another. To my amateur eye, the circuit is designed to 
periodically disrupt stable conditions. This feature would preclude 
the Wbug's use as a 1v/octave VCO.
 When I link my 2 Wbugs (the 300 series module will feature just such 
a dual configuration) and just let them have at one another, the fish 
in my aquarium pay calm attention for a few minutes then begin to swim 
in eerie nervous patterns that track the Wbugs output. This is a scary 
circuit and rumor has it that Grant got an accidental glimpse of an 
extraterrestrial vehicle owners manual during a routine abduction and 
part of a diagram manifested itself to him in a dream. Don Buchla may 
have been abducted by the same crew in '65. In any case it should be 
worth a few hundred just to find out how long the damn thing will go 
before repeating itself (mine have been at it since the 4th of July)
gotta go
the fish are signaling
