Excellent VCA

I had a HexVCA prior to this. I prefer the increased wiggle room and linear response of Linix.

Say the word 'synthesizer' to most people and they'll think of a keyboard with a knob?laden control panel and perhaps some blinking LEDs. Show those same people a modular synth (as I've done recently when demoing my modular to friends) and a look of fear and incredulity appears. What the hell is it? What are all those wires? It looks like some kind of old telephone exchange! That's not a synthesizer
