hi folks-
quick question-
the dual low cost vca.  i'm tight on cash and space, i'd like to use 
it as my audio vca.  i can add/subtract gain from an external mixer, 
i just want it controlled by an eg as any vca would be.  i don't need 
multiple inputs or pots.

also, the ssm2044 filter.  is there much gain on the input there?  i 
had akorg mono/poly, the filter sounded cool on that.
