3340 VCO Schematic for PCB design

Personally I would also suggest adding the octave selection, really very practical
On my VCOs that don’t have it I miss it a lot

R42 must be changed, i don’t remember exactely maybe 2K (i ll searched and come back :slight_smile: )

EDIT : I found it, between 1K and 4.7K

(By the way, R42 shown there is specified as 220 ohms but it really should be higher; 220R results in too much current through the voltage reference U4, potentially causing bad behavior and possibly damaging U4 permanently. If you used 220R this would be a good time to replace it with something between 1k and 4.7k.
