The 200x uses the CEM 3379, which sounds close to the 3372 sonically (found
in the T8 and 600)

The VS has the 3378, so the 2000x is very much like a 1 OSC VS (with much
less modulation).
Each 200x voice has a dedicated 12-bit DAC and 3379 for each voice.  This
results in good voice to voice variance (OK, I think it is good)
