Subject: RE: [ModularSynthPanels] CGS Synthacon VCF Stooge panel

I highly recommend you dedicate an Oakley Multimix with the Hendry triple
attenuator modifications to the Steiner VCF without attenuators. This gives
you three reversing attenuators for three different inputs to the Steiner
VCF, or use just one input through the Multimix to all three Steiner VCF
inputs to get the all pass mode.
