OK, so
by my reckoning, what's going to happen the following hinted-at future
modules:
130
Dual VCA w/Pan & Fade
4xx
SEM VCF w/Morphing Output
4xx ARP 2600 VCF
430 Variable Slope High-Pass VCF
450 Fixed Filter Bank
460 Bi-Phase Clone
8xx Triple Pre-Amp
8xx Envelope Follower/Compressor
Are
all of these still in the works but now SMT, or are they DOA? The Audio Engine
stuff
sounds
interesting, but call me a purist - I was
looking forward to these analog modules,
not
the least reason is because of the
MOTM-quality analog sound. It blows everything
else
away. I really hope we don't loose these too.
For
what it's worth, I'd really like to have the Dual VCA and the Pre-Amp. I recall
Paul
saying
they're simple to put together, but they don't make enough money. The
problem
is,
when you've spent $$$ on a fabulous modular with gobs of elegant modules,
missing
some
of the "simple" stuff starts to stick out like a sore thumb. I'm reminded of the
recent
thread
on AH about a certain other modular's lack of an LFO. And now with
Stooge
Industries shuttering, DIY'ing our own fill-ins has become MUCH more
challenging,
especially if you want to match the MOTM's panels.
