That was indeed what I saw later. I know the designer and he was having some
experimental set up when I spoke to him last week.. This set up implied use
in modulars and such. I wonder if he buffed up the frequency for that..
But I was just a bit too quick to post this stuff here..

You might be right on that one. And let's leave the math out for now... ;-)

Yes I know that. And that still does not answer my question really..
Let's say we have an pseudo-ideal CV> digital converter. It would work from
0 volts to anything, so no upper limit. (Just assume this..)
I would shift the CV up by the amount it needs to have the most extreme
negative amplitude point to be 0 volts.
Let's assume this is 5 volts. My device now tracks it nicely and records it
in whichever imaginative software format we might think of.
I now would like to use this signal to drive my modular.
I would take the output from the software via my reverse device and shift
the resulting voltages down 5 volts..

In my opinion this would not be different than the original signal. would
it
Sorry if I was unclear about this.
And yes, I know it's a hassle ;-)
