CV octave control is very nice indeed.

speaking of... check out the blacet vco, no octave knob but it has CV control. there are
some good mp3 examples of this in action at www.blacet.com/VCO.html

i'm currently using Asys vco's but have been considering adding a blacet. but now w the
buchla repros possibly coming out, i think i'd prefer one of those. i'll wait to see if
doepfer makes one, if not, hope i'm not too late to get a Plan B. either way i'm excited
that these are becoming availble!
