What I like about the VL7 is how it can emulate some of the BC work
just from keyboard playing (without a BC connected). There is a
mix of velocity and aftertouch, such that for a short time after
you hit a key, the velocity controls a certain parameter (like
pressue of the bow against the string), and after a certain time
(adjustable) the control for this same parameter is taken over by
aftertouch. It's more or less a crossfade operation, which could
easily be done on a Modular with a dual VCA and a VCLAG.

Is there a clever way to handle it ∗duophonically∗ at least?
Like a bow working on two strings at the same time? (I'm
not a violin player, so I can only guess, but I think they
do this, don't they?)
Like, if you hold one note on the keyboard and then play a second
one, you'd have to emulate the bow being moved and touching a
second string? Does this make sense?
