[sdiy] modular synth "standards" (longwinded)

And even here it's worth to try it in a different way. I'm sometimes mixing
in reverb to the raw VCO sound *before* VCF and VCA on the Synthi
Clone. The result is a kind of "organic" sound without a reverb tail
(which is cut off by the VCA). When a synth is layed out in a way that
doesn't emphasize certain standard paths, there's a higher tendency
to try the unusual. Hey, I think I'll go down to the studio and try
adding a little reverb to a CV input ! (In sidechain, of course, as it's
AC coupled).
