hello peter,

hmm i really don't know. actually i use linear vca's
like the a132 or blacet dual vca for panning of control
voltages and that seems to work fine. these can process
both audio and cv without problems. can you please explain
the difference between your panning vca and devices like
a132 and the blacet dual vca? sorry if this is a dumb question ;-)

best wishes

ingo
