PLAN B analog blog

I'm late for a thing (jonathan Betton of Plan B is moving, we're
having a swill with him ) I can't spend too much time right now on
this but I will when I get back tonight.  

Nothin's wrong with your unit.  Remember, a VCA only responds to
positive control voltages and the the SSM2167 VCA's in the M24.
although offset internally to compensate still pull a bit heavy on the
positive side.  Just adjust the MEAN if you want bipolar, that's a big
reason why it's there.  Now, if it pulls more to red and green or vice
versa - remember, this is random.  It all depends on what comes out of
the dice at any given moment.

I'll go into more detail on this as son as I can.
