A problem some Casio owners may be able to clear up for me...
The EG on the DCO for a Casio CZ has levels from 0 to 99, where a level of
0 gives no pitch offset and a level of 66 gives a two-octave offset.
Armed with this, I guessed that 33 would be an octave and 99 three
octaves....but no, it appears to be logarithmic rather than linear.
A level of 99 is in dog-whistle territory.
Has anyone come across (or tabulated) a cross-reference of levels versus
pitch offset?

One octave is at 66. Up to there, 1 step corresponds to 1/6 of
a semitone, i.e., 6 steps is a semitone. From 66 on up, the steps
are quite a bit larger, I think 6 steps to the *octave*. This gets
you another 5 and a bit octaves up to 99.
(I'm wondering why it's 66 (6*11) steps rather than 72 (6*12), but
it's Monday morning and my computational neurons are still asleep...)
I have the full mapping written down someplace, but if you were
familiar with my home "filing system" you'd give up right now on
me ever finding it in less than a month.
