Analogue systems

There's a price up on the Analogue Systems site now, so I assume these
are available. Unfortunately the sound files mentioned in a previous
post are not there (maybe they are being redone with the production
model?) Has anybody got or used one of these yet? 

The features I gathered from a previous posts were; multiple cv & gate
outs, a lot of multi-breakpoint envelopes, multiple cv in, additive
synthesis mode with 32 harmonics, poly analogue mode with unison.

Most of this reads a little bit like Absynth & I wondered if the main
applications were more likely to be swirly &/or rhythmic evolving
stuff rather than traditional additive ('piano' & 'metallic' patches).
Or is polyphony - within the modular domain - the killer application here?

Any thoughts greatly welcome - if it wasn't so pricey it would be
tempting to get one just in order to find out what it can do.

All of the above! I had a chance to look at a prototype of this 
module a bit at NAMM in January (pic here: 
http://www.fdiskc.com/usrsyn/namm/2004/images/rs370+
375.jpg), and both killer apps you mention here apply, and I'm 
sure in the right hands even more unique uses could be found.

Also, Bob mentioned at the show that once he finishes this up 
he's going to start work on a similar module of filters... so it 
sounds like he's got big plans for a modular hybrid polysynth!
