Linear VCF

[René Schmitz]

Its kind of funny why we care to include linear FM on VCOs but not on VCFs.
So far all I've built didn't have it. With the exeption of the WASP clone,
which only has linear. I like it for that reason: the time for travelling
between the harmonics of the signal is evenly distributed with an
exponential decay.
