Last comment regarding expression control over the VF-1. Nearly all of the expression controlled parameters end up sounding very "stepped" and are not smoothly modulated as you'd expect with analog gear or current production digital effects. Not saying this makes it worthless, just that it makes an audibly stepped effect which is particularly noticeable when you're sweeping pitch or frequency based effects.

Regardless, share some sound samples of what you end up doing with the VF-1. I always feel like I'm reasonably clever with the effect programming foundation, but I don't do a lot of real time control, and I certainly haven't transcended the fact that "there is no spoon".

Make sure you give the VF-1 software editor a try. It makes patch experimentation much, much faster.
