I think we had this discussion earlier ...

Though the A-152 is not a real ASR you can do similar things with this
module. The most frequently mentioned application is to distribute a control
voltage to the CV inputs of several VCOs. At the rising edge of the clock
signal of the incoming CV is sampled and routed to the next VCO. For this
function an ASR is not essential as the VCOs are equivalent. But there may
be applications that require a "real" ASR (I'd be interested in applications
where an ASR is required and that cannot be realized with the A-152).

In case that we will develop an ASR we'll go the digital way, i.e. ADC -
processor - multiple DAC. This has a lot of advantages, e.g. no voltage loss
of the analog S&H capacitors, included quantizer for VCO pitch applications
and some more. But I'm not sure if the expected sales will justify the
development of such a module (especially as we have already the A-152
available).
