Hi Guys,

I agree with both of you here. Another idea would be to have dual
concentric pots like the Oberheim SEM or the MemoryMoog. This way you
could sweep the Range much faster than using a Vernier or use the
fine pot to dial in the frequency with more accuracy. the vernier's
use is good with the ergonomics of the VCS3 because of the joystick
and the pin matrix which you could patch to the vco frequency,
thereby creating the best of both worlds.

I haven't tried the doepfer joysticks. in a vertical setup the big
dual pots of the SEM may be a little more easy for control in an A100
setup.

Thoughts, anyone
