Wow, I learned my synth chops on a Buchla synthesizer at Brandeis University in 1977. The professor there claimed that the instrument was relatively useless since it couldn't produce a diatonic scale. I proved him wrong by using attenuators to dial down the sensitivity of the oscillator inputs to the point where they could be fine-tuned to recognizable notes on a twelve-tone octave. Fun times!
