I believe that the Mixers, Universal Audio Processor and DCSM, as well as the VCFQ have all been improved considerably and these changes have been rolled into the shop panels like the Animal.

Makes me wonder:
Is it possible to have older NTOs and PCOs
(mid 1990s Oakland system) updated ? I
am the first owner of this panel, for what
it's worth.
Have there been improvements to other modules,
and can these be added to older panels ?
Are the improved NTO and PCO found in the Animal
Panel, or only in the Triple Osc ?
Thanks in Advance to anyone who can answer.
