I was thinking it would be useful to switch between different inputs and 
different control sources of a VC Delay (preferably digital for infinite 
repeat possibilities) with a MOTM 700 VC Router. You could then use, for a 
simple example,  a flanger for one signal and a slap echo for another with 
the same module!!! But VC delay would seem to have many other advantages 
beyond this. I do mostly agree that other digital reverb and delay units are 
much better suited for what they do.

Here's a patch (which every 2600 user figures out rather quickly) which, if 
you don't already use it, may make your springs seem a bit more useful. 

1) VCO (or VCOs) to the reverb input (this may require the use of the soon to 
be available MOTM Synth preamp).

2) Reverb to VCA.

3) ADSR to VCA VC in.

4) VCA out to mixer.

The reverb acts as LPF. Try varying the ADSR times for different effects. 
Hope you like this.
