[sdiy] VCA CV input

Hello everyone,

yet another question. I've built a Dual VCA inspired by a design of 
ele4music.com (from the single board modular). Here's the schematic:

www.orpheo.nl/sbm.pfd

And i'd like to ask how i can change the sensitivity of the CV input's. What 
i did was as follows:

- I connected the LFO ouput to the VCA input
- I connected the Modwheel output ( 0 - 10V) from my MidiDac to the CV input
- I connected the VCA output to a pitch modulation input of a VCO
- I connected a potmeter "depth" to the VCA's 'level' pads
- I connected a trimmer to the 'range' pads.

That's my setup. What i'd like to do is have control over the LFO's Depth 
with this VCA. I'd like to use the "Depth potmeter" to regulate the depth 
and i'd like to behave the modwheel in the same way (to make vibrato for 
instance).

Is this the right setup, or do i need to change something? My modwheel does 
have a tiny little influence now in the pitch modulation, but it is very 
very little. The "Depth" potmeter is working fine.

Greetings,

Rutger
