[sdiy] Linear VCF control

[Tom Bugs]

I think a few have cropped up recently in Euro (but I can't think of names)
If the VCF is based around an OTA then it is often fairly easy to add 
linear to the usual sort of matched-pair exponential converter - not 
sure how that'd help with temperature compensation though.
Somehow I don't think I ever actually tried it though.
