[sdiy] Replacing CA3080 with CA3046 ??

The MAT04 is dialectically isolated (the CA3046 is junction 
isolated)...also, the THAT 3xx transistor arrays are dialectically 
isolated, so you don't have to worry about which pin is more negative that 
which...

However, in general, building your own OTA is sortof a loosing 
proposition.  However, I have made simple OTA's, using a THAT340 PNP/NPN 
array (two NPN's and two PNP's) that work out pretty good for cloning the 
SSM2040 VCF...still...it is a rather expensive solution...
