Hi Paul, and Happy New Year!
I feel the opposite; I always have envelopes dedicated to VC resonance. Using an LFO to slowly modulate VC resonance during a sequence creates a wonderfully evolving effect. Robert Rich has beautifully used sequenced VC to control the VC resonance on some of his pieces.
In fact, VC Resonance is probably one of the top 3 modulation destinations in synthdom, in my opinion. VC resonance is a must have for me.
Take care

Thinking ahead to new filter designs.......
Both the '440 and '480 have VC Resonance inputs. But, and let's be honest:
are they *used* all that much? One filter more than the other?
Doing this adds cost/board space that I could use elsewhere.
The only patch that comes to mind is adding a Velocity to Res, so that the
harder you play, the more resonance you have. But I think 95% of modular
owners do not 'play' them that way.
Thoughts?
