Hi everyone,
I'm pondering the purchase of the A-142-4 quad Decay module. There is still little information and no sound or patch examples, no pdf file with more detailed information. 
I have e.g. A-143-1, A-143-2 and A-142 VCD and wonder if the A-142-4 offers sonic possiblities that cannot be achieved with either of these modules I already have.
I'd be grateful if anyone had any info or knows about/has soundfiles with examples.
best wishes
Jakob

As you already own the A-143-1 the A-142-4 will not add additional features
to your set-up as the circuit of the A-142-4 is a simplified version of the
A-143-1. The attack control of the A-143-1 is not available. Instead of that
an attack trimming potentiometer is available for each unit (but with a
smaller range than the attack control of the A-143-1). The A-142-4 was
planned as a low-cost version of a simple four-fold envelope generator with
manual decay control only. The A-142-4 is about half the price of the
A-143-1.

thank you for the explanation. it helps a lot with the decision making.
cheers
