I think toasters and model trains use AC, but that's still very good
advice. Besides, there is already a MIDI spec for toasters.

Afaik, you can't run DC through VCA input of a 110 due to the blocking cap,
but you can use the X input with the switch set to DC.

Is the upcoming dual pan/fade VCA (MOTM-130??) AC or DC coupled??
