Re: The definition of a new attenuator

Right.  I've done one last image 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Doepfer_a100/files/offset_module_2.jpg)
, that incorporates a CV function in the lower channel.

I'm not convinced that using a rotary selector knob (ala the Range 
selector on the VCO's), as it would probably drive the price up.

Also, if the module was made wider and more complex, the development 
costs woule rise, as would the retail price.  

The way I see it, not every module should be all singing and all 
dancing.  Sometimes simple "meat and potato" modules, which are often 
relatively inexpensive to develop and manufacture, fund the 
development of the more exotic modules.

Regards,
Kevin
