Re: 120 (was: first post)

How does the DB-120 expand the stock 120's capabilities?  I see the 4 
individual outs which seems like it could come in handy.. what the
heck is the staircase output like?

I was actually a little disappointed with the 120 when finished 
building it after hearing people raving about it.  It can do some 
distortion and of course it gives you 4 suboctaves, but I'm just not 
finding cross mode that useful, hence I rarely use the 120 at all.  I 
have a small system and budget, so I'm considering ditching it in
favor for some other module.  I'd probably replace it's _basic_ 
functionality with a clone of the SH-101 sub octave circuit which I 
think would be enough for me.

The only thing about it that I find exciting is you can send a
trigger to input B to step through the pseudo-sequencer feature and 
get some cool octaved basslines going while just holding down a 
single key.  Maybe I'm just not being creative enough with it.. so 
what are you guys getting out of your 120?
