I have to agree completely with Microtonal on this one, my
preferences are also...
1. Dual VCA/Panner/Fader
2. Pulse Divider
3. NOT the microVCO, something else
>As Tom says, the Dual VCA/Panner/Fader adds functionality to the MOTM system
>that isn't available elsewhere. It also makes stereo panning much easier.
>
>Where I disagree is the Pulse Divider. I look at this as mostly a control
>voltage tool. Since it is microcontroller based, it may not even work that
>well at audio frequencies - I would expect it might have some jitter. This
>is a great complement to a sequencer for getting nonrepetitive note
>durations and polyrhythmic textures.

>The microVCO still confounds me. Why a 1U module that duplicates
>functionality when there are so many things missing from MOTM. I'll give a
>few examples:

>Phaser
>Variable Slope Filter
>Waveshapers
>Analog Shift Register
>Envelope Follower
>Preamp
>Sequencer
>VC Envelope Generator
>Quantizer
>Frequency Shifter
>Boolean Logic
>Comparator/Schmitt Triggers
>Control Voltage Modifiers
