Subject: MOTM numbering??

I have a question, how does the MOTM numbering system work??

I seems fairly obvious that the 300 series are oscillators, the 400 series
are filters, and the 900 series are raw utility modules (mults, power
supply). Beyond that, I'm confused.

I had thought that maybe the 100 series were audio producing/processing
modules (VCA's, octave divider, noise generator), and the 800 series were
voltage producing/processing modules (lag processor, pedal interface,
Larry's CV dividers, envelope generator), but the 830 is an audio mixer.
Then I thought that maybe the 100 series all had AC-coupled outputs, and
the 800 series all had DC-coupled outputs, but the 101 outputs S&H and I've
heard the 120 can be "used as a sequencer" so that throws that theory out
the window.

Nevermind the 700!!

Could someone please explain how the numbering system works?? I'm sure I'm
not the only person who is curious.

THANX!!
