.. and for a 1V/oct compatible CV you need an additional exponential
converter as the procedure described by Florian generates a linear CV.

Btw. we are still about to develop the A-100 frequency to cv converter. The
most complicated part of the circuit is to create a clean (sine or triangle
or rectangle) wave from any (or at least most) audio input signal. The rest
of the module (generating the CV from a clean wave) is already working.
