MOTM

Hi Mark,

I'm not sure I understand what you're proposing with patching your VCA "into 
the patch panel" -- if you mean to mix the outputs of several sources (say 
three VCOs) in a multiple, and then run that signal in to the VCA: I would 
like to hear what Paul says about that first. 

This technique is called nonlinear mixing in the Alan Strange book 
"Electronic Music" and will produce non-harmonic tones (specifically sum and 
difference tones) such that the resultant sound is similar to AM. The reason 
I'd ask Paul first is that it is generally considered to be bad practice to 
run outputs into outputs.

The only reason to not use your RM section as a VCA is that a RM will not 
have the dynamic range of a VCA, but in a pinch......
