I like the idea of saw/tri outputs and using a comparator for pulse (or a
700, with a couple of constant CV sources). This would also allow PWM, if
you really wanted it, via a CV in on the comparing module. On the other
hand, anyone using a 310 as the sole VCO of a low-cost system would
probably want the pulse output instead. The 1U uVCO permits a quite
impressive one-row system:
Support:
1x 900 power (rear mounted) @ $125
1x your favorite 1U midi/cv @ $200 +/- ...
1x 6U SKB @ $110
1x rails @ $ 40 (plus however you mount the power)
Core:
2x 310 uVCO @ $160
2x 800 ADSR @ $ 90
1x 4xx filter (your choice) @ $160 or whatever
Extras:
1x 320 VC LFO @ $140
1x 110 ringmod/VCA @ $130 Total $1300ish
Other "Extras" are easy to think of, for instance if a 1U uLFO and/or
uVCA were to be offered one could add a 100 or 120. This is pretty
impressive when placed next to the $1000 one-row Doepfer system, which of
course is Doepfer and not MOTM!
Incidentally the 420 filter is a great marketing hook to put in a one-row
system, because no one can hear a single 420 without immediately wanting a
second one. Then you have to start another row, and then... *grin*
(Yes, Paul, I'm going to order another one with the 410... :))
peace,
Chris
