The voltage scaling on the M564 sequencial switch did not correctly pass voltage information thru it with out chaging the voltage leves. i.e. if you were using it select between sequencer rows it will not play as if the rows were plugged in directly. But that is all fixed now and Gert will repair the faulty modules free of charge.

What was the design flaw? Can you give me more info on that, and what they told you about it?

They aren't really new, but I have both the M563 trigger sequencer and the M564 sequential divider switch and I like them both a lot. The devices appear to be well-made and add a lot of value for sequencing.
I should also mention that Moon's customer service has been excellent. They ship items promptly. There was a small design flaw with early versions of the sequential switch. They notified me of the problem (I hadn't noticed it myself) and offered to fix it if I wanted to send it back.
I'd eventually like to get a pair of the voltage controlled envelope generators from them, but I haven't gotten around to ordering them.

Yes.
My thought is that I would like to buy the voltage controlled envelope. Has anybody here tried this module?

M564 delay in counter-settings Re: design flaw Re: New Moon Modular modules
2009-03-17 by ~Morbius~
I was wondering if the issue regarding changing the selector-switches,
controlling the number of cycles (counter), had been addressed. On mine,
(as an example) it can be on the first 'stage'... and if I change the number of
cycles of the 2nd, or 3rd, or 4th, (or all)... the new setting does not take
effect until the next 'go-around'.
Translating that into the well-known function of the 960's (instead of the
962 switches)(since the 962's don't have counter-selectors)(and since the 960's
can be used in the same way, if patched to one or more 962's)(or M564's).... it
would be like a 960 (running) currently being on stage #1, and you flip
stage #7 (or any)(or all) to 'skip'.... normally, the 960 (no matter
what brand, Dotcom, COTK, Moog, etc.) will 'skip' #7, after #6.... but in
this case, it would play #7 (even though you've already put it into 'skip'
mode), and would not 'skip' #7 until it cycles around again. Did I say that so
it makes sense?
I brought this up several months back... evidently, with no one being
interested, and in at least one case, someone said they actually liked it that
way... but that5 was fairly early on, before a lot of people had bought an M564.
Now, a lot of people have one of more, and have time to play around with one, or
more. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, or anything... I'm just
saying, that in my opinion, when you change a setting... the change should take
effect then, not later (unless we were talking about a delay-module)(which we
are not). I can't imaging trying to do a sequence... especially, an on-the-fly
piece on a 960, where the modes won't change until the next 'go-around'. In my
mind, it should be exactly the same with the M564. Or..... Am I missing
something here?... Am I expecting too much?... Am I whining?
