[sdiy] Matrix12 CEM3372 trick and CEM3396 question

[jbv]

Rainer,

Thanks for the reply.

yes, I'm aware of the vca problem with the 3396, and am thinking to use
a SSM2164 as double vca with panning.

but 1 question remains : what could I do with the "wasted" vca on the 3396
?
any smart suggestion ?

actually what happens to the regular vcf output that feeds the vca when
applying
the matrix12 trick to the vcf cells ?
