Primarily thinking about fade/pan in cv uses, not 2 vca's (which,
as mentioned, the 110 has).

Two disclaimers: (a) I'm assuming that one can fade/pan cv's in the 130
and (b) I've never used a fade/pan module so I'm imagining what can be
done.

Some uses are probably 'obvious': pan to a mixer/recorder (from motm or
hopefully my Prophet 5) & fading cv's from, say, different lfo's.

Basically, I think the fader could have very useful applications in
smoothly transitioning from one cv or audio source to a target cv or audio
input.  Add in the linear and exp. cv's on the dual vca to the below, and 
I think patches could become nicely dynamic.  A few ideas (probably most,
if not all, others have thought of):


(1) The 700 is nice for abrupt switching between 2 cv sources, but I would
also like smooth 'switching' between 2 cv sources with
increasing/decreasing magnitudes - I would think that the
fader would be appropriate for this (if it handles cv's).  Of course, one
could have 700 --> 130 fader, 700 switching, say, 2 lfo waveforms
with 700 controlled by lfo rect. waveform from same lfo or a second lfo.

(2) pan cv (e.g. an lfo waveform) into 2 cv inputs in one unit.
Examples, the 2 fm cv's in the 440; sweep & depth in the 410; 2
fm cv's in the 300; shape & fm in the 320 (possibly back into itself).

(3)  More varied 'voicing' in Robert Rich's "chaos type patching" or
the middle section of my Unknown Spaces (see motm News page for both)
where one could have input into one 300 fm being varied using fader from 2
300's or variants on this theme with 2 300's.

(4) audio from one or more 300's into 2 filters with each filter being fm
modulated with a pan output

(5) filter fm modulated by one pan output and resonance modulated with the
other pan output

Just some basic ideas.  Any thoughts on these?
