I will buy at least two of these. This module will greatly help with
dynamic articulation of sounds. I like the feature set including the
Velocity VC level, with a few suggestions...
I'd like to have simultaneous linear and logarithmic outputs - same FP real
estate and less cost than a lin/log switch or knob.
Two freely patchable attenuators works. Another option is the Evos ADSR
type VC selector which cycles through all combinations of the four CV
parameters. This requires a knob and 4 LEDs though.
http://www.wavemakers-synth.com/evos/EVOS_04.jpgYou might not need both burst and cycle switch settings. If you put a
pullup on the gate input, when you switch to burst/cycle without a gate
input you get continuous (cycle), if you have a gate input it functions as
burst.
