I'm under the impression that it is way beyond too late to make any changes 
to the 130, but I like John's idea (below). I also may still be a bit 
confused (so what's new) about the LINK function. In Juergen's post he 
indicated that module's functions would be determined by its input and output 
configuration -- 
1) one input + two outputs is a VCA with VC Pan, 
2) two inputs + one output is a VCA with VC Crossfading inputs, 
3) two inputs + two outputs is two independent VCAs. 

If that's true, can one use either VCA alone, or does one have to choose say 
VCA1 as the single VCA? I also wonder how the PAN/VCA MODE switch effects the 
module's behavior(assuming the normalizing scheme above is true -- if so it's 
an absolutely great use of normalizing jacks IMO)?
