Thanks for tips! I´ll take look at the Sequentix and the others mentioned. Maybe the Polyevolver, though it lacks gatebuttons, isn´t such a bad choice either. It can store 128 x 4 patterns besides. But off course, it´s only interesting if one needs the synthpart. Matteus --- In D

In principle each (or at least most) VCA can be used for a lot of voltage controlles applications (filters, phasers, oscillators, VCADSR's, and many more). As the SSM2164 has current outputs it is very easy to built a filter (e.g. state variable or 24dB LP) around the SSM2164 by

If both A-110 behave in the same way probably not the A-110's but the A-190 is the reason (a bit non-linear DA converter ?). If the two A-110 behave different probably the scale and or HF correction of the misbehaving A-110 has to be readjusted. If you will not get the A-110/A-19
