A-189-1:
I would like to have voltage control of samplerate and an insert for
an outboard clock source. The extra VCA at the input could be ok, but
not essential.

A-137-2:
To me it seems best to make an expantion module for this, so you can
have the cheap version and if you want more control get the expander
module.

Both these modules demo audio files sound great, I must have them.
