We only have to do some "fine tuning" (e.g. to find the optimal sensitivities and ranges for the CV inputs). So I hope that the A-137 Wave Multiplier, A-149-1 SOU1 and A-167 Analog Comparator will be included with the September production (i.e. ready built modules will come October/November) that also contains the A-154. I have to correct my last remark concerning the possibility to upgrade the A-154 with CV controlled first/last step: as the processor has only 5 analog inputs available (i.e. 5 analog-to-digital converter inputs) and 4 are already used up (mode, step address, clock, pulsewidth) there is only one analog input left. Consequently it is not possible to add two more analog inputs. We would have to use another processor with more analog inputs. As this would cause again production delay we will refrain from changing the processor. But a compromise would be possible: The step address CV input is used e.g. as last step (in all modes except the step addressed mode) and the remaining 5th analog input is used for first step. This is a compromise that will work as the step address input is not used in all modes except the step address mode.
