<< With one control 
 voltage, the module can sweep through 4 out of phase triangle ramps that are 
 used to control the Voltage Controlled Mixer CVs.  That way, 4 audio inputs 
 into the VC Mixer can faded in and out, one after another with just one 
 control voltage. >>



just to play "devils advocate" ( forgive me!!! ), might this not be a scaled 
down version of a shepard function module ? i`m not familiar with theirs from 
using one but i had a paia one in my last modular/homebrew machine and used 
it for just this sort of thing along with out of phase multi 
vibrato/modulation in a single "voice"/patch. i never had 8 of anything to 
try the actual shepard function ( well, not quite true but..... )! i saw it 
as a source of strange modulation control voltages. i don`t know. if they 
ripped off the guy`s design, at the very least, uncredited, then as i said 
before, thats ABSOLUTELY WRONG.  BUT, we also need to be sure of what mud we 
are slinging and at whom. if true, i wouldn`t buy the module on principle but 
with so much "in the air" in terms of ideas ( which aren`t copyrightable, 
only implementations ) we should try to be careful. i don`t advocate piracy 
but i do advocate innovation.
