Hex VC mixer

It also seems that that the UB 4049s are in good supply.  A quick check of
the Digikey and Mouser catalogs indicates stock of them, in fact for surface
mount they only stock the UBs, maybe for speed?   Since the parts are
available in surface mount, you could make a hex VCA that is REALLY small!
