It would not be a problem to release an ASR module but from my point of view
it does not make sense to offer such a module if it's already available from
another manufacturer - unless it has important additional or different
features. It's part of our company philosophy not to offer the same
functionality of a module that is already available from another (alive)
manufacturer. We are a small community of manufacturers and we try not to
spoil to other manufacturer's plans. Only if there are new ideas included in
a design we may develop modules that overlap with the modules from other
manufacturers.

We have an digital 8 step ASR available as a prototype (digital means that
we use an ADC and eight DACs to output the delayed eight voltages,
optionally quantized outputs with semitone steps with 1V/oct scaling) but
never finished the module because we did not expect sufficient sales. The
ASR prototype was developed in parallel to the A-152 module some years ago.
