Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: polyphonic modulars

Don't forget a Quad VCA too. I think the "quad" line of modules should  
encompass the major functions needed for the "standard" voice. We have  
Quad LFO and EGs now the Quad VCA is controlled by one CV so not what  
I want yet - and Quad VCOs would be a challenge to fit nicely in a  
panel and be full featured but I am sure they would sell to many even  
it they were not destined to be in a polyphonic system. Especially if  
there were creative normalization implemented. Things like chained CV  
inputs that would allow all VCOs to run from CV jack 1 in nothing was  
plugged into 2,3 & 4 - or all VCAs in a quad module fed the same audio  
in only jack 1 is used (quad panner with a A-144 or A-143-9) or  
chained summed outputs to make a VC mixer. With creative normalizing  
used on inputs, outputs, and CV ins these modules can super flexible  
and easy to use for polyphonic and mono use.
