I assumed you wanted an additional manual control as you wrote "pwm manual
control 1-4", an input socket with attenuator for PWM and a waveform switch.
From my point of view a manual PW control would be essential as well as a CV
input with attentuator unless you swap out these functions e.g. to an
A-183-2 (Offset+Attenuator). As we all know it's always the question how
many functions are implemented into a module (like manual controls, inputs
with/without attenuators) and which functions are "out-sourced". Our idea
was to have the A-143-4 mainly as a quad VCLFO and the planned A-110-4 as a
quad VCO (with PW/PWM and sawtooth). Even the range of the frequency
controls should be different for a VCFLO and a VCO from my point of view. So
it's a bit hard to put all functions of a VCO and VCLFO into one module.
