  If you have the mod wheel control an oscillator level, you can change
the volume of the oscillator with the mod wheel...say, quiet when the
wheel is down and loud when the wheel is up.  If you use an LFO to control
the oscillator level, then you can use a CROUTE to allow the mod wheel to
control the depth of the LFO's modulation...such as no modulation when the
wheel is down (full oscillator level, say) and lots of modulation when
the wheel is up.

  CROUTEs are used to implement the standard of vibrato when you raise the
mod wheel: two routes modulate the depth of two oscillator pitch MODs.
