balis,
i think that the added features of the a-154 would certainly expand the 
possibilities of using the sequencer as a "grahic vco", my experiments in 
this area ( both with a previously owned serge tkb and the a-155 ) have led 
me to feel that the "graphic vco" idea has merit for control waveforms but 
when reaching audio frq`s, there isn`t enough variation to merit the extra 
effort - the standard waveform choices provide a reasonable spread of 
harmonic series for "day to day" use and the addition of things like linear 
fm and various waveshapers ( doepfer a-136 is nice, i can also recommend the 
blacet/wiard  mini-wave ) provide enough extra waveform variety with less 
effort and less expensive circuitry. better, IMHO, to make it the "best" 
sequencer it can be and if audio use is limited, so be it. 
not to have you think i`m a complete reactionary, i think that there is good 
work to be done in the complex vco area and i`m waiing for someone to have 
the vision to extend their linear fm vco to  thru zero operation which is a 
definite improvement over regular ( ala a-111 ) fm, just as one simple 
example.
best,
dave
