I would like to know as well, but I've been too lazy to order the cable. LOL.
The second input and output though make it like a drone machine dude. It's fucking CRAZY.

The concept with the Dirty Doper CV is: the voltage powering the entire circuit is directed by the CV voltage, so in a sense it acts somewhat like a variable starve.
As stated before, it's pretty rough hewn as far as circuitry goes, and does respond better to an "AC" audio signal than a DC signal (at this point in time). If you're hooking it up to a synth and feeding it DC CV, it's going to do very little from 0-3 volts, then it'll start to creak into life somewhere in the 3-5 zone. After 5 volts you should have something, and it will change the nature of the way the circuit sounds, though not to a startling "filter sweep" type degree. I think the sweet spot with it is the relatively narrow range between waking the circuit up and bottoming it out, but as I stand here and type this I do not have one on hand to reaffirm my impression.
The CV support is the one aspect of that circuit that I'd consider still in development. I'm currently working on VCA type stuff, (though it's anyone's guess how long this will take - since my aim is to do it in a discrete topology, not with some fucking OTA that will scuttle my gain scheduling) which will be able to be wedged into the existing design as a sort of parasite circuit. In all honesty, aforementioned VCA would not be a standard offering on it, just another option for hot-rodding.
Regarding connectivity, would you guys prefer a different type of connector as standard? The 4 mm banana is really based in my own preference, and should probably only direct final design to a somewhat limited degree... though, hypothetically, if I build something with numerous CV functions a cluster of banana are probably going to be better on space.
