Subject: Re: [motm] Module choice - second VCO or second EG.

Dave,

I'm a little confused by the choice of a VCO vs. EG. The 310 VCO costs
almost twice as much as the 800 EG, and their functions are very
different. I don't know what you already have, but if you now own a
VCO, a VCF, a VCA and an EG, a second EG would be a good addition. You
can put one EG on the VCF and the other on the VCA. Get another
MOTM-800 first. Then after that I would look at the MOTM-320 LFO, which
can do double duty as a VCO, and which also can drive the hard sync on
the MOTM-300 you presumably have (and modulate the 300 PWM input too).
