Why not?

I'm pretty sure David is right, since he's not mixing between a lin and a log/expo *output* from a VCA, but rather producing a CV which is a blend of lin and log going in.

But then I thought about it some more and wondered if crossfading between the output of a lin VCA and a expo VCA isn't the same thing anyway. I haven't done the maths to prove it either way.

Interesting question though…maybe I *will* have to do the maths.
