[sdiy] Speaking of CMOS....

I'm understanding that the 4052 is run on +/- 8V and the
control signal is 0-11 volts ?  You could just use a series
current limiting resistor (maybe 100K) and let the protection
diodes clamp it... but it will have a 100K and maybe 5-15pF
lowpass filter built in...

Or you could tie the 4052 to reference the -8V...and use a
resistive divider to both pull the low level down more...and
attenuate the high level..

I'd use technique #1
