Great idea Dave! As Moe said, you could do the same thing with the (where do 
you get one of those anyway?) VCF Bandpass with VC Width and simultaneous 
modulation of VC Frequency -- but it seems less intuitive than having an 
upper VC Cutoff Frequency, and a separate lower VC Cutoff Frequency. As I 
thought about this patch (DAMN! I need to get a second 420 now!), all I could 
think of was "joystick controller!" Might be worth thinking about this type 
of deluxe bandpass for a future module.
