hi bakis, here is an excerpt from the doepfer hidden page.

now this is very inspiring stuff. the possibilities for sound design 
manipulation are enormous. imagine throwing a long envelope or multi 
stage envelope to the vc filter selection input and having an lfo or 
another envelope controlling the vc input of the resonance. drooling:)

would the vc filter selection input be stepped or smoothed or both 
with regards to the final output? basically will the final output 
sound of each filter be morphed together seamlessly?

will there be a way (memory) to select the order in which the 
different filter stage outputs will be outputed thru the final output 
vca? i.e how many stages get outputted and how step stages could you 
have in a row? 

will there be an output header card or pin connector to have a 
companion module for the multiple filter outputs?

needless to say this opens up the doors to a lot of new filtering 
options and possibilties. i am salivating at the thought having this 
type control. hope it becomes a reality.

let's discuss this more thoroughly and see what what happens.
