One thing I'm curious about concerning thee "envelator" - does it do
that thing you can do w/the modcan dual LFO, where you cross patch them,
so they alternate?  That's a pretty cool one IMO.   

Oh, an intro - I'm a brit prog rocker/electronic musician.  Last time I
checked, I had the only Wiard modules in britain, which is cool in one
way, but pretty lame, really.  I have a borg filter (with fancy engraved
faceplate) abd a sequantiser.  I have the super-omni filter ordered, and
I'm going to get the envelator next.  I also have some Modcan, MOTM,
Serge and Blacet modules.  The blacet panels work particularly well
w/the wiard's, I find.  The other week, I was amazed to discover
something which is probably obvious to a lot of you.  Patching the
Sequantiser and the dual borg together to get a basic, but complete
sequencer/synth combination!   Only a few patchcords too:

VCLFO1 square out -> Sequantiser Clock
VCLFO1 Saw out -> cutoff mod on *both* filters
VCLFO2 saw or square out -> filter 1 in 
filter 1 out -> filter 2 in
filter 2 out -> mixer
sequantiser out -> VCLFO2 1v/oct in
VCLFO1 = low range
VCLFO2 = high range

Right?   VCLFO1's square wave is yr sequencer clock pulse, whilst its
saw wave acts like a preset env. gen for borg filter 1 (set up as VCF to
your taste) and borg filter 2, which you set up as a VCA - IE full mod
depth, LP mode, no resonance.  VCLFO 2 acts as yr audio oscillator, with
its pitch controlled by the sequantiser.   So much fun & functionality
from 2 modules!  Who else's gear can do this?

best etc
