Low-gain answered most of your questions, but I'll address this one.
1 V/oct is a widely recognized and used standard in modular synthesis because it makes things easier if oscillators (and filters, not to be forgotten) follow a common standard. There are others, less common ones as well, such as Buchla's 1.2 V/oct, which elegantly translates into 200 mV/semitone. (Don Buchla is a famous pioneer in modular synthesis who started his career in 60's. Another name to look out for is Serge)

However, 1 V/oct (1 V/some arbitrary interval) is not a magic intrinsic property of oscillators. The oscillator needs to be designed and tuned for that standard in order to obey it. Often, a high precision oscillator has two trim potentiometers for tuning, of which one is for fine tuning in the higher octaves. This is needed because the oscillator is likely to deviate from its voltage/frequency curve at higher frequencies. Another problem is temperature instability - the oscillator detunes itself once it warms up. This problem is solved by thermocoupling  a heat sensitive resistor  to the critical transistor, to compensate for these effects. Thermocoupling means that the components are placed in such a way that they keep the same temperature, in the case of this resistor, by joinng it to the transistor with a blob of thermal grease.

Now I'm not expecting you to understand all of that immediately (hopefully you will one day ) But rather I'm trying to explain that getting a high precision or even low precision a 1V/oct response is not a trivial thing but requires it to be a part of the design. Specifically, making an APC do 1V/oct would likely require some sort of voltage scoling.

BP, the sav is lost, at least as far as I can. It's filled mostly with garbage, and some of it resembles song data, but I can't recover anything useful unfortunately.

Time to take Plastik for a serious test drive!

Because there's no reason to post it as an ensemble to begin with. I'd do that if I wanted to include something else, like some effect unit. Many people seem to post instruments as ensembles which generally has no advantage except that it's superficially easier to open the file.

If you're only going to use LSDj on it and feel that you often run out of space, go for either a Smartboy or a BleepBloop. (if you can find them anymore.) Not the EMS 64M. I have something awesome in stock for those carts, soon t be released.
