Calibration

Calibration is quite similar to what you have on other VCOs.
S - Scale. Here you adjust the 1V/Oct tracking. Apply a CV from your Keyboard or Midi->CV Converter. Connect a guitar tuner or frequency counter to the VCO output and adjust "S" until 1 octave on the keyboard is exactly 1 octave of VCO frequency.
F - Frequency. Here you can adjust the absolute frequency (not the scale). You can set it to something like 16Hz (or whatever else you prefer) for the ccw end position of the 10-Turn front panel "Frequency" control.
H - High frequency tracking. Honestly: i didn't even adjust this in my prototype - I just left it in mid position. If you need to, you can fine tune the octave tracking for higher frequencies here.
PW1(2)(3)Adj - Pulse width adjust. With the front panel Pulse Width knob in 12 o'clock position, adjust the trimmer for 50% pulse width.
