The IC input is current driven, and sums up the currents from multiple voltage sources (CV inputs, tuning knobs, octave selectors, …). As long as you stay within reason (e.g. the supply rails) you cannot really overdrive it.

See [here](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/need-some-help-with-the-kosmo-vco-w-tuner-please-i-ve-lost-weeks/691/50) for the relation between voltage and frequency. Note that you need more than 12 V in **total** to get beyond 3100 Hz (~G7).
