Description

I love the sound of supersaw, but it's nearly impossible to control the pitch.
There's no 1V/oct input, so you need to use the pitch control.
As soon as you connect something to that, the pitch drops to a very low note.
Only way to control it is with voltages over 10V, but then it won't respond to changes.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the supersaw pitch-control behavior in VCV Rack, especially what happens when a voltage is connected and how the control responds above 10V. Then locate the supersaw module's pitch-input handling and determine the expected 1V/octave behavior. Done means connected control voltages produce predictable pitch changes across the intended range.
