CV Inversion Help for stereo gristleizer build

I'm in the process of planning out a stereo gristleizer for keys. I've figured out how to add link buttons to all the settings, and how to link the CV to sync the lfos. But then I thought how much cooler it would be if I could invert the CV to get them perfectly out of sync.

Is there a simple way to invert the cv to get it perfectly out of sync. Where should I research further?

I can't get details on what the cv levels actually are until I build it, since I can't find documentation on that anywhere, but I imagine it is 0-5v.

I'm OK at wiring and simple mods, but actual electronics work like this is beyond my level of knowledge.

Thanks!

Here's a bit of a cheat sheet:

www.ti.com/lit/an/sloa097/sloa097.pdf

This outlines scaling of the DC range and gain/attenuation per stage, even though they indicate it's easy on math it's still a bit involved, having specific criteria that need be met would make assistance a touch easier.

To invert the CV I would simply build an inverting opamp buffer that you can either hard wire/switch/patch in.

Thanks! Time to do some reading

you can get the min and max voltage by scoping the lfo. that should give you all the information you need. supply voltage matters. supply/2 vref. inverting opamps are the most used thing in electronics. learn it.
