I remember seeing the “expo crossfade” example from the SSM2024 datasheet which uses a differential pair to split a linear control current between two linear VCAs (e.g. not applicable to the expo VCAs we’re discussing here) . If I remember correctly, when I tried it, it gives subtle “hole in the middle” effect as a panner, as the volume apparently drops as the signal reaches the centre. This experiment was a long while ago though, and I might be mis-remembering.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">What others have said about the VCAs is all true - you pick the cost/quality ratio you’re after and then the parts choice will make itself!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Tom</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
