You can never have too many VCAs...
Launching today two quad modules: Veils, a quad VCA with adjustable response curve, and Blinds a quad VC-Polarizer (aka four quadrant multiplier or ring modulator - a VCA that flips the sign of the signal when it receives negative CVs).
Both have the same "cascade mixing" feature as Shades - if an output is not patched, its signal is mixed into the next channel. They can thus be used as (voltage-controlled) mixers.
At first glance, Veils would be more suitable for audio and Blinds for CV. Except that Blinds can turn into a monster ring-modulating droning mess on audio signals... and these two modules have DC-coupled inputs.
They turn out to be useful for other tasks as well: Veils for boosting external signals thanks to its large gain range in exponential mode (up to 20dB), Blinds for offsetting/scaling signals.
