Re: Model 9 Mixer/Attenuator and Model 29 Dynamic Mult Released

OK. Clean signal is important.

(M14 is useful, although I have these comments:
- I would prefer +100% or -100% gain for the attenuators at max/min 
settings.
- Max output should go negative and Min output positive, like with 
Doepfer A-172.
- XFade input should accept negative CV.)

Best regards
