  ...That's right, I had forgotten about this. One of the timbre modulators
  I built uses this method for voltage controlled x-fading. This is a good
  method, and I will keep it closer to the front of my mind for future
  use...

  Unfortunately, it doesn't work so well for 13600's! I guess I could just
  use two 3080's...

  Thanks guys
