hi andreas,
the vco of the a196 is a vco with a pulse only
output.(maybe that is the reason of the low
price).but,apart from that,it also, has a linear cv
input.that means that you can control it with your
ms20(if you have one...).it's the only a100 vco with
Hz/volt response.
btw,it is to be used with the whole PLL circuit and
not as a standard vco...but,if you want,you can use it
this way,too.
bakis.
