Thank you, Anders.

This link has a picture of my synth:

To do 14-TET, I set up the following control voltage path:

(Keyboard CV + Sequencer CV) --> Voltage Quantizer --> Attenuator --> 
VCO(s)

I set the attenuator such that to play a 9th on the keyboard (i.e.,  
Middle C to the D in the next octave) produces an octave shift from  
the VCO.  Another way to put is that I change the 1/12 volt steps to  
1/14 volt.

This is easy to do on an analog synthesizer.  On some digital  
synthesizers, one can control the "Cents per step" to change the  
"Cents per step" to 85 (1200/14) to enable 14-tet.

Of course, you have to remember that an interval of a 9th on produces  
an octave change in pitch.

Thanks again for listening!  Glad you enjoyed it.
