Doc,

	A lag, such as the bidectional slew found on the VCO should do the 
trick.  Thanks for the analysis!  

	It's funny, at Calarts, there were two SOUs in each system -I used 
both modules on every patch that I made on the Buchla.

	On my Serge, there are 6 Stepped and Smooth Generators.

	I have one, and hopefully, will end up with two Bugs by the time 
that I have finished my Wiard system.  I guess that I am just a random 
kind of guy....

 Hi Gary,

Under the hood, the Wbug design is very unique (and unusually original by today's standards) and IMHO the comparisons with an SOU are blown a bit out of proportion. My take on it is that the Wbug's smooth CV out  makes the same kind of unexpected leaps that the SOU does but it's glide from voltage to voltage is more abrupt especially on wide intervals.
