Doepfer

for these purposes i'd really recommend going with at least one
interesting cv controlled digital processing module. the doepfer a112
can be very interesting, both for the effects when they're pushed to
digital limits and artefacts appear, and also for grabbing a snippet
of sound and using it as a wave, or moving through the snippet. truly
underrated.

i also have the harvestman's malgorithm, and that is magnificent.

doepfer have a similar looking bitcrusher (a-189 i think) coming some
time this year, which will be interesting to hear, but for the moment
i really cannot recommend the harvestman stuff highly enough. his
poliviks filter clone is excellent, but the malgorithm is probably my
favourite module right now. 

you might also swap out your vc wave module for an a-137, i guess?
