Actually, I think that's what I just said (except I think the scaling module
is so important that I'd build it right in to the EG) -- take one input and
route it to four different reversing attenuators to independently control the
A, D, R phases of the envelope. I really do think these routing-scaling-pots
are a good idea.

I agree! I may have underemphasized what I consider the important part of my
proposed 3310 module -- the SINGLE VC A, VC D, VC R, INPUT and the associated
THREE reversing attenuators. I consider the four unattenuated VC inputs to be
much less interesting or useful.

Hey! Pour me one while you're at it!
