Module suggestion: Similar to sequential switch, except there would be a crossfade instead of instant step between successive channels. Crossfade time to be set by a knob, selectable from 0 to long. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

That might be an expensive module - lots of VCAa and Lag/envelope circuits. Probable easier done using Vactrols driven by a A-160/A-161 type circuit with some lag added to smooth the transitions further than the Vactrol's built in lag. -James

It could be done with just 2 VCA's, one for even numbered steps, one for odd. A clock divider would just switch the odd one every other click while the even channel is on, and vice versa. You could just use one lag generator. You could have two fixed voltages of equal magnitude but opposite polarity in the background, and the clock signal would switch between them while the lag would swing between those values, split the output and send it to the CV of one VCA, and send an inverted output to the CV of the other. So it seems like to do this with existing modules as I've described would require 1 lag, 3 VC switches, 2 clock dividers, 1 A134 panner, 1 fixed CV source, and 1 inverter (or skip the inverter and use a carefully tuned A176). Now if the lag time is shorter than the clock cycle then the effect would be to always hear a mix and then some abrupt changes while the outgoing signal is switched. So you wouldn't want to set the lag time too long. So it can be done using existing A100 technology (if I have not made a mistake in my reasoning), but it seems like the kind of thing that calls for consolidation to one module for a useful and intuitive function.

I don't think so because we have this features already available: A-135/A-144 or A-135/A-143-9 combo.

Oh very good, I did not realize what those modules were for. I guess my 8(?) module setup has a little difference in that fade time can be much smaller than the cycle time.
