First, the JH-5 has ∗2∗ of these in it, and a lot of the JH-5 "character" is in the VCO>>VCF>>VCA
chain which is different than current MOTM (circuit-wise). But, the uVCF will be as good as the
Moog ladders in the Moog monosynths (Rogue, MG-1, etc) if not better.

You guessed correctly on the panel :)

The tradeoff is: multiple inputs (say 3 audio ins) versus more attenuators. Thinking of the
Minimoog, with a separate Mixer section, this is the best layout. Externally mix the VCOs, but
you want FM (envelope, usually) attenuation RIGHT THERE on the module.

Now, I need the MOTM-890 uMixer: 3 GAIN pots, and 2 pair +1 inputs, 1 output (6 jacks).
