Gain and Offset

[Grumble]

So I am in need of a module that lets me set the gain and at the same time set the offset.
Because e.g. sometimes I need a control voltage with a low amplitude added to an offset.
So I put this small device on a breadboard and it behaves surprisingly well.
I use a quad opamp, single supply that way the voltages are always between gnd and 5volt, so these output voltages will never destroy the inputs of my Arduino's.
I am using a MCP6284, from Microchip, single supply and an almost perfect rail to rail output of VSS + 15mV and VCC - 15mV !!
For every opamp there are two potmeters, one that controls the input votage and one that controls the offset. Mark that the offset potmeter is connected to -5 volt!.
The only drawback is that the input signal is inverted, which for a symmetrical signal (sine, square etc.)this is not a biggy, but for non symmetrical signals like an ADSR CV this might be a problem...

Cool!
Another variant would have been to control the gain by having a potentiometer instead of R7.
