The very first expanded Miniwave was also made that way by Dave
Hylander.

How are you using it? Since the PROMS are so different, I find it
hard to imagine switching by CV, except for purely random weirdness.
Of course maybe that's a good enough reason!

HA. The randomness is interesting in inself. I let mine sit for
hours (for testing) with a LFO feeding each of the three sweepable
inputs and a scope hooked to the output. It was really quite fun.
However, from a practical point of view, I'm not sure that sweeping
from ROM to ROM is a huge advantage. I you were using a sequence and
wanted to be able to change quantizing automatically and the scales
you wanted were in two different chips.

Let me add reason d):

If we had to try to keep up with the demand we have plus what people
are getting from Schaeffer, it would kill us. I am glad this other
option is out there. Otherwise, this would probably be like a full
time job.

Stooge Larry, expecting the last of the panels any day now.
