I see. There are either 3 or 6 lfos/filters per oscillator depending on
whether the 520 has 8 or 16 oscillators, which is still unknown.

The Sine and Pulse waves on one board and the Saw and Tri on the other.
That's a very awkward split in functions. It's going to be expensive to get
those much sought after supersaw waves. I had thought this was because
there wasn't room on the 520 panel because you didn't want to go 3U. But
then the CGX is going to be 3U. Seems backwards to me.

Ah. It's nice to see it return, although you should have reconcidered not
holding back and going with a full 15 band FFB.

Actually, I don't think we know much about the extra expander features,
other than it will allow detailed editing and access to the 520. But what
that means or what use that will have seems unknown.

We were taught by MOTM to learn to "envision" and build our own systems. My
visions have been of PKES knobs, even if smaller than normal monstro size.<<
The only small knobs that would go with the style of the other MOTM modules
would be the smaller sized MOTM knobs like those used on the Encore UEG.
