[A6] Oscillator frequency control oddity

[David Evans]

  Try this.

  Set both of the oscillators to 440Hz.  They'll merily be in tune.  Now
turn the Big Knob on OSC 2 so that the OCT light indicator lights up.  Sure
enough, the oscillators are nicely octaves apart.

  How, turn OSC 2 a bunch flat using the CENTS knob.  It will be just under
a semitone flat but, surprise!, the OCT light will still be lit!  Now turn
the Big Knob so that the OCT light is lit again.  Hah!  You're still flat
by about a semitone!

  It seems that the OCT light is merely responding to the position of the Big
Knob.  Is this the best behaviour?  I don't personally think so.
