sciences.
I believe Ray's already been quoted on that point in Richard's post.
Maybe you could look at it this way: a 2600 is a quickly configurable yet
modular instrument if you need it. A Wiard or CMS system has less presets
but still allows rather rapid programming. Most modulars form the next
stage: no presets, standardized functionality (like ADSR envelopes). A Serge
is slower. Things are much more broken up, what with several different
independent modules for binary and complex waveshaping, slew processing etc.
An analog computer is even "slower": a basic VCO wants to be patched up as
well as other functions which may be harder to understand from a common
musician's view but may essentially be no more complex than a VCO which one
is used to buying as a readymade module.

That is certainly correct as he is a true bank of knowledge but I only spoke
of Comdyna specific requests and he does not know the final GP-10S any
better than you and me right now..

: There has been some mention of sequencing, state variable filters etc..
: all I'm asking is for some more info on that side of the computer.

Yeah, that's why the GP-10S is on the cheap side of the GP-10 line :)
