I just checked the Modcan site and found this:

Q: Will the B series be converted to conform with the 10V pk-pk signal levels of (insert 
company of choice) ?

A: For the time being no. If it is seen to be a major disadvantage then consideration will 
be given to address this. It is a big job to redesign 50 different modules to a new signal 
level. For the most part the existing configurations will work fine in conjunction with 10V 
systems and for those cases were the signal is too large most modules have attenuators 
that can be used to reduce the input level.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure this will affect me. Does this mean if I use an LFO (Env, 
etc) to module the frequency of an Osc that the amount of modulation would be greater 
unless I use an attenuator (such as a VCA?) to adjust the level? Would Modcan oscillator's 
signal need to be lowered to prevent clipping if going into filter or other sound modifying 
module? 

Or am I totally off the mark?

Thanks for the info.
