wow! so of my three hardware mods, one of them may wind up a software mod?
what's the improvement in cost/complexity by moving that into the software
domain? my only concern would be the zipper effect, which can only be
~really~ mitigated as a hardware mod. it wouldn't be a big deal on most
parameters, but on the moog-slayer the zipper may be noticeable. although,
even if it's controlled by a digital pot, i guess there would still be a
zipper...? maybe there's some way to get the best of both worlds? a switch
between hardware/software control? or a software control that feeds the
high side of the hardware pot?
are there any other parameters that can be easily "expanded" to a higher
resolution or ceiling?
as soon as that's ready for prime-time, my $$$ will be on the way.
