[sdiy] free AS3320, AS3340, AS3310 and AS3360 samples

[Pete Hartman]

Lowgain is Logan Erickson.  I don't think he's on the list, but he's done a
bunch of different SDIY work, sells his own commercial modules, did a lot
of TTSH builds for people, currently affiliated with Modular Addict, etc.
I'm friends with him IRL and on FB and he's really excited to see these AS*
chips as you can tell from that instagram. :)
