What's great is that we have a range of choices from cheap to posh. 
In fact, those THAT chips are offered in A, B, and C versions, sorted 
by THD+Noise. So, there's a range within the range.

Yes, Tim D., Mouser now carries the THAT2180/2181. (Don't search for 
"THAT2180" because it won't show up.) Here are those THATs:

Sure. So, what's a VCA with good character -- a discrete design like 
the Minimoog VCA?
