Variable Waveshape VCLFO

This module is based on the Variable waveshape LFO by Kassutronics. It’s an LFO, the shape of which can be linearly adjusted from a downward ramp to a triangle and then to an upward ramp. I’ve modified the circuit to make the rate CV controllable, and added a sync input that can reset the LFO either to its positive or negative peak, selectable via a toggle switch.
