I quite honestly doesn't have a clue about how much more a VU meter with attunuators would cost compared to one without, but it gotta cost more simple cause it involves a few jacks and pots. look at the 180 which basicly is nothing. I totally agree with you lot that separate modules are better for flexibility, but the way I see it the VUmeter display can't be 2 units wide but rather something like 8 and I can't see how it should fill up the space below and that is where I think it would be good to add the attunuator part. It also makes sense economically cause rack-space is also a cost to consider in a A100. So I am all for separates if it doesn't mean a lot of empty blank areas in the modules unused. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Buechler" <buechlerjoe@toadmail.com> To: <Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 5:05 PM Subject: [Doepfer_a100] Re: A-136 CV question > Hi se > > > same with me, but a single meter would be enough for me. > > if there is a need for two meters, we can buy two > > modules. this would save space and money, if only > > one meter is needed. > > Agree, but it might be possible to get two meters into an 8HP module > at low cost.
