I'm not sure if this is what Tony meant, but it might be a better choice to 
go linear on all pots (or Juergen's idea on all the pots -- nice to see you 
back JH!) if only for the uniformity of operation. Correct me if I'm wrong 
here guys, but this module seems to be more of a "pre-mixer" (since there's 
no output level controls) in that levels wouldn't typically be adjusted on 
the fly. The inputs might have a "touchy" quality to them, but I'd think that 
would be less strange than "pot 1 operates this way, pot 2 operates a little 
differently, and pot 3 operates differently still!"

In fact, it might be nice to have reversing attenuators on all the inputs (I 
can hear Paul groan from here) -- hey Moe, great idea about mixing waves from 
the same VCO!
