another hack. one of the filters has a bad peak in volume at the middle of 
the cutoff freq, making filter sweeps not so smooth. i could put a 
limiter/compressor on it... or i could fix it with cords...

  1) Diode  ->  AmpVol   +100
  2) DC     ->  Diode    -50
  3) MidiA  ->  Diode    +100
  4) MidiA  ->  AmpVol   -10
  5) MidiA  ->  FiltFreq +100

  #1 adjust as needed
  #2 determines at what point the volume increases
  #3 determines the rate that volume increases, after overcoming the offset 
of #2 and accounting for the decrease of #4; in my case this increases the 
volume as #5 is turned from 50-100%
  #4 controls the initial rate of volume decrease; in my case it 
compensates for the unwanted increase in volume that would otherwise occur 
as #5 is increased between 0-50%
  #5 is the filter cutoff; without the other cords it was giving a peak in 
volume as it passed through the middle of the range.

this can be modified to make something happen more, or happen less, as a 
knob or other controller (env? LFO?) passes the halfway point between 
0-100. of course the halfway point is adjustable, and the controller can 
be doing something else at the same time.

enjoy...

i'm starting to like this synth ;)
