[sdiy] Lopass Gate voltage range question

Simply increase the input resistor values leading from the CV pot and CV
input to the CV summer.  Looking at the schematic, I'm presuming these are
R3 and R5.  You could double or triple these values.  Try 470k for R3 and
330k for R5.  If these values limit the CV too much, then back off to, say,
330k and 220k.
