> Hmm great idea.  Now I need more oscillators ;)

that's a statement that is always true for every modularsynth-geek on 
the face of this planet...

i _NEED_MORE_OSCILLATORS

(you may exchange "oscillators" for "filters","mixers","envelopes" or 
for the more general "modules"...the latter is what i always tell my 
girlfriend;) )


but where it gets really crazy is when you use a cv to select the step 
in such a setup. i.e. use the sawtooth ouput of the VCO you're 
modulating to select the active step; this way you will
  have up to 8 different modulator waveforms within 1 cycle of the 
carrier (or you could think of it as a single modulator with variable 
frequency/spectrum). be carefull with the modulation intensity though, 
this is obviously a feedback loop and tends to be rather..unstable 
(which may be exactly what one likes about this approach ;) ). maybe 
modulate pw at audiorate instead to break the loop, will give similar 
results but leaves the saw-output unchanged.
oh yeah...if you take the output of one of the trigger-rows to sync up 
all the  oscillators you can avoid clicks due to non-zero values when 
steps are switched (since the trigger signal will force them to start 
at 0V)...at least theoretically (and probably only for sines and 
triangles).
