I find it very interesting that you're calling something a clone that 
you have not seen.  The Serge Dual Slope Generator is a voltage 
follower/slew limiter which has the internal patching to double as 
a EG.  My unit is based on my VCO circuit.  It is non-retriggerable 
- a true A/R generator.

But in regards to  your comparison- where's the dedicated saw 
output on 'your'  Serge VCS?  Where is the End of Attack pulse 
out?  The Timebase controls?  The tri-mode contour control?  
The external cycle enable input?  Can the SergeVCS pul 20 
minute cycles form faceplate settings alone?  In any event, what 
you're calling a clone here is nothing more than a partial list 
functional similarities at best.  

But actually, you're right. The Model 10 is a clone...of the Model 
15 VCO core with a whole slew (pardon the pun) of changes - 
switchable instead of  hardwired reset into the flyback , fixed 
symmetry current regulation resistors replaced with pots, 
internal self freq VC used for contour bending, an adaptation of 
sawtooth shaper used for the ramp out.
