Play and patch Doepfer and you'll see the light<g>.
The MOTM Envelope follower will be 2U. The triple preamp was
announced to be 1U. This is a large format system, as others have
pointed out. Try it, you'll like it! Forcing modules down to 1U for
the sake of compactness is a false economy - you end up leaving out
things like built-in input mixers, inverted outputs, and initial bias
controls. You then have even more need for external utility modules
to do mixing, inverting, and biasing. In any kind of reasonably sized
system, it works out to about the same size in the end.
Some of us have built utility modules and put them behind MOTM panels
to fill the gaps in our systems. It's no big deal to buy a blank
panel and DIY protoboard from Paul, to build any number of simple
opamp circuits for these kind of functions.
