I see this may be interpreted in different ways, what i mean is:
VC X and Y and VC of proportinal simultaneous attenuation of the
four outputs, kind of VC Z (half of it, from here to nothingness).

( Actually when i think about it, the VC Z could have an invert switch,
that way you could patch the same X, Y, Z CV to two quad modules,
invert one of the Z inputs and have an 8 channel cube panner! )
