Well, the notion of 10 levels came from the suggestion to use the LM3914,
which has 10 outputs. Two LM3914s can be combined for as many as 20 levels,
but using one '3914 would be very simple and it would be good enough for
some purposes. But...

Very interesting! Sounds like the MOTM or Buchla way of doing things. ;-)
