Subharmonicon Emulation v6.1 with arpeggiated slew

I have expanded the patch bay a bit to provide both pre and post quantized pitch inputs. I also improved the patch bay labeling to hopefully make it more understandable.

I have also added Usage Notes to the bottom of the UI.

The Sub 1A and Sub 1B oscillators are normalled to the Osc 1 and Osc 2 Shape inputs to simplify emulation of the Subharmonicon PWM feature. Simply set your Wave 1 and/or Wave 2 to Square, and dial up the Shape CV 1 amount and/or Shape CV 2 amount if you want to apply the standard Subharmonicon PWM effect.

This demo patch shows how to patch in slew to generate arpeggios. It also applies Sub 1A through zero linear FM to Osc 1, and applies Sub 2A soft sync to Osc 2. The Osc 2 is set to sine with pseudo PWM shaping that is unique to the underlying Venom VCO Unit oscillators. The sub oscillators all use sine with J-curve shaping. I really like the tone of this patch.

I started the patch with sequence 1 applied to Osc 1, and both sequences 1 and 2 to Osc 2. To get the arpeggiated slew I then disabled the sequence 1 to Osc 1 and patched the Seq 1 output to the Befaco Slew Limiter with rising slew only. The slewed output is then patched to Quantizer 1 input. I also disabled the sequence 2 to Osc 2 and patched Seq 2 output to another slew limiter with falling slew only. This slewed output is patched to the Quantizer 2 input.

The quantizers turn the slewed V/Oct input into arpeggios. The Subs automatically follow the quantized V/Oct of the main oscillators, so they also produce arpeggios.
