Now that is interesting. I will have to try this. I know that one has to 
be careful about mixing analog and digital circuits to the supplies, but 
if the VCOs and the VCAs segregated make that much of a difference, it 
would certainly be an audible one and worth the time to perform some 
experimentation.

Thanks for the tip, Grant
