If you look at most of the filter modules, 105, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, etc.etc. they have a common layout, with "audio in" at the top, some cv and other inputs in the middle, and then the "audio out" at the bottom.

But then theres others, 120, 102, 103,  etc which have a different layout, with the "audio in" and "audio out" as the bottom two sockets, and the cv sockets further up.

Initially i thought the layout had been changed at some point in time, and newer modules were one way, and older another, but then the a-120 is one of the oldest modules, and the a-105 much newer, with others in between, so there seems no correlation with time.


Anyone know why some otherwise verry similar modules (with regard to inputs / outputs) follow one layout rule, whereas others follow the other?  And, which do you prefer?
