[sdiy] Panning in Quad Resources and Docs

[Dakota Melin]

Yes, quite a bit of crossover with the Planar, but I’m not looking for a
finished module or eurorack, I’m looking to get a grasp on the concepts to
incorporate the ideas into some of my own pieces.

The quadrant CVs look like this on the Planar plotted against X and Y?

(Except I think I may have lettered my quadrants starting at a different
spot?)
