i agree, that is a great way to go, but he has a System 2 which does not have it, so he would have to get the module and replace one in his system, or get another rack for it.. the quickest/chepest (though not as stable) is with a mult. but hey i am all in favor of more modules..

Well, I am not sold on the 8-bit idea. Sure it can be fun to have a sample degraded to 8bits, but I really think that 16 bit 44khz is a reasonable standard for sound. Otherwise the a-112 seems like a good module. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jmaddocks1975" To: Sent: Thursd

but 8-bit is fine for waveforms. I agree a DCO would be an excellent module and one I would buy straight away. I really like the DCO in my CZ-1000 (everything else on the synth is boring but the DCO's are very unique) but the A-112 can be an excellent oscillator! No need to limit
