Chris is right. If I could only get 2 panels, I'd get an Animal and a Soup Kitchen 1. When you buy the TKB, you really need to look at it as a 2 panel purchase, as a lot of the tools you need to use it best are in the Quantizer panel. Buy a six panel PS, and a SKB case for 3 pane

Two of the best modules for audio processing which John didn't mention are the frequency shifter and resonant eq. I wouldn't go for a TKB if you are looking into sound design/processing, money could be better spent on a second panel. I would also make up a custom panel, I'm not s

Errr... I thought they were the same thing, circuit wise. The difference being, in the NTO the waveshaper is always being fed by the sawtooth, whereas with the TWS you can send any waveform in. The TWS was used with early Serge oscillators to provide sine & rectangular waveshapes

Greg, The "Variable/VC Waveform" output of the NTO is what I think you mean by its' "waveshaping" ability, as this is the only reference to variable wave shape on the oscillator. This function bears little resemblance if any to the functions of the triple waveshaper module. The v
