+===== CV Protection =====
+CV protection is something you have to be aware of when doing CV related mods.  If your CV device outputs too high a voltage, or even a negative voltage, then the out-of-bounds input might just hose your x0xb0x.
+Here are a few ideas on how to deal with the problem.
+==== Protection from Negative CV ====
+VerifyMe: Just connect the cathode of a [[diode]] between the CV in and the rest of your circuit.  This should shunt any negative voltage to ground before affecting the rest of your ciruit.

+==== Protection from Extreme Positive CV ====
+VerifyMe: Use a ZenirDiode, set up like the above, but instead of shunting it to ground.  See http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth/SOUNDLABMINISYNTH/SoundLabMods.html#PROTECTCVINPUTS for more information
