Analogue systems

right now i am looking at my modular and i am running 3 vco,s from my cv buffer they are then running out to the mixer module which then goes to a filter then to a mult. which splits to two vca,s one envelope is driveing both vca,s then i use the other envelope to drive the filter cv input this is a pretty basic patch but i do remember when i first started with the modular looking at it and thinking ..huh.!!! and to be honest i think as they grow you always will thats half the fun ...you might try to download an arp 2600 manual 
     anyways best of luck 
 
        wayne

So, I'm looking to buy a System 3, swapping the 120 for a third 95.
I'm peeking at the eurorack modular planner website to get an idea of 
what I'm buying:
(http://mega. modularplanner. co.uk/standard. html) and trying to figure 

Since I've never owned a modular before, I might need some help. I've 
already sent enough annoying mails to Analog Systems, so I thought I 
might ask some annoying questions here instead. Many thanks to any of 
you who can help a noob with stupid questions:

1) With 3 VCOs, do you *need* to use a multiple to get a single note 
to play on three VCOs? I presume so, and assume this is a good use of 
the ring-mod mult.
2) Are the two CV Outs from the RS140 so you can run in duophonic 
mode, or are they merely echoes of each other, and designed for 
people with only 2 VCOs?
3) If the EG is triggered from the RS140, why is there a separate 
Gate input, and what's the 'normal' patching for this? 
4) Do you use the signal mixer to mix the output from the EGs with 
the 3 VCO outputs? 
5) Anyone tried using stackable plugs on their patch cables? Is this 
a reasonable alternative to using Multiples? 

I know it's quite a lot of questions, but I can't think of a better 
way of ensuring I get exactly what I need.

Again, many thanks to anyone who can help.

Many thanks. I've used the TimewArp2600 emulator, and this seems to 
match - the main surprise was the use of mults (semi-modulars tend to 
hide a lot of this stuff, of course).
