Gary Chang told me about the MARF built into the new Buchla triple filter. As always, very smart. Building a complex envelope generator into a module is relatively easy now using an 8 pin PIC or something. Maybe control voltage recorder/loopers/random sources? They can be programmed with a different dialect of MBASIC from Basic Micro Inc., pretty much the same development enviorment as the Basic Atom Pro (but not free). A synth module can be as analog as anyone wants, just add more functions with a micro. Actually do-able on a DIY basis at this point in history. It used to require corporate level resources just a few years ago. But with MBASIC, even young students can write control software. And an 8 pin PIC is cheaper than a Vactrol, you do the math.
