Re: A143-4 - Keep it simple + powerful!

2010-03-10 by wisekodama

Hello Dieter!

The concept I laid out has only one additional CV in and one additional switch per part (as compared to your last mockup). I just wanted to throw out an image of a perfect version of this module for me.

However, I do take your considerations to heart. I realize that you need a practical module that you can ship! 

Of the current versions in debate, I would love the version with sync/reset and stable tuning with range switches. I look forward to this and will save $ and space for it!

I have much respect for what you do, you offer great modules that do amazing work with no fuss!
