I'm using the same front panels, since they are made and sitting on the shelf :)

Nope, that would require 8 inputs and then you would want 8 reversing 
attenuators :)

You apply fast envelpoes to the SPREAD CV.

Where you set the COARSE/FINE pitch.

Well, not really. It points to a different set of tables where the coefficients 
are.

> How's each phase individually controlled by a single CV?

It's not :)
