Hello,

Ok, you asked it (explicite lyrics on the way - for saving their souls all
the young ones have to overlook the next five words): BOF means "Boring Old
Fart". 

What I wanted to say: To my opinion people, who buy today a fixed-wired
analogue mono synth, surely do not want to create sounds for a classic rock
music keyboardsolo ala Keith Emerson or Tony Banks.



My opinion on what a good, fixed wired synth should do:

Destination  Modulationssource 
             (Src1/Scr2 means switch between two sources. All 
              Mod-Source-Inputs should have amount-potis if not 
              mentioned otherwise.)

   VCO1
   Log fq    Keyb (fixed on 1V per Oct)
   Log fq    LFO
   Log fq    Env1/Env2 (inverted Env appreciated)
   Lin fq    VCO2
   PWM rate  LFO or Env1/Env2 (inverted Env not needed for PWM)
 

   VCO2
   Hard/Softsync from VCO1
   Log fq    Keyb (switchable 1V per Oct or adjustable)
   Log fq    LFO
   Log fq    Env1/Env2 (inverted Env appreciated)
   Lin fq    VCO1
   PWM rate  LFO or Env1/Env2 (inverted Env not needed for PWM)

   VCF
   Cutoff    Keyb
   Cutoff    Env1/Env2 (inverted Env appreciated)  
   Cutoff    LFO  
   Cutoff    VCO2  
   Cutoff    Ext-CV-Input 
   Resonance Env1/Env2 (inverted Env appreciated)      
   Resonance Keyb         
   Resonance LFO/VCO2

   VCA
   Amplitude Env1/Env2 (inverted Env not really senseful)
   Amplitude Adjustable offset    
   Amplitude LFO/VCO2

   It would be nice if the envelopes can be triggered by the LFOs
rectangle.
   Loop functions for the envelopes are a nice feature.


Within of that I did not obey the functions of Pitchwheel and
Modulationwheel
The LFO Waveform has not to be switched at the Destinations it is enough to
switch it at the LFO, since there are nearly no useful sounds, that use
Triangle and Rectangle waveform at the same time.
