Doesn't Selector operate at +/- 20 volts? A much higher dynamic range than
other modular systems, so if the VCA uses the full range, even with slower
envelopes you're free to kill your eardrums if thou wishest

The power on the Selector is +/-20 Volts.

The explanation I have been given has to do with the exceptionally wide
tolerances TS uses on the modules. It really is quite stunning.

I usually take magazine reviews with a grain of salt....but the SOS review
is very good: (and pretty accurate)

Note the commentary on the speed of the envelopes in comparison to the Moog.

One of you have any news on the (purportedly/ rumouredly) long-
planned Selector modules?

The Technosaurus guy is pretty young....and Im sure in it for the long
term.
My opinion as "serious hobbyist"?...although not as 'intellectually
stimulating' as other systems....the 'sound' is *very* pleasant. Of course
it is lacking all of the things Serge users r looking for....and no where
near as fun to use......(Half the fun is playing the Big 'mouse-trap"
trigger game with voltage.......) But for a VCO > VCF > VCA machine (with a
very good RM, SH, Wave-Shaper and Triple Resonator) there seems plenty to
keep you busy. . .
