That's a great idea. I've been using the output of my A174 joystick
in the same way. But a clock voltage, unlike the joystick, is always
fixed, so you can count on the intervals on the CV2 pot being the
same every time you use it. And, you don't use up an output on the
174.

The A110 info page on the website says that the range of the tuning
pot is "+/- 1/2 octave." I used to think there was something wrong
with my A-110s, or that I had an older version. Now, I think it
must just be a typo or a mis-translation. The website should
say "+/- 1/2 STEP."

I personally think that the A110 should have a wider tuning range
from the factory. A +/- one fifth range, combined with the octave
switch, would give access to all pitches in the range, without
making tuning too fiddly. Works on the minimoog.

While we're at it, connecting +5v. to the CV2 switched input would
make the CV2 knob a wide range tuning knob whenever it is not being
used as a CV attenuator. Zeroing the CV2 knob and centering the
fine tuning control would give the nominal pitch. I think I'll try
this on mine. Does anybody have any ideas of what would be the
optimal resistor values to use to get a reliable 5v. from the 12v.
