Thanks for all the insightful comments! Bernie Hutchins has an analysis method of putting things in a grid form to look for "blank spots" in the grid. For example, we can form a 4 place grid by using "Audio" and "Control Voltage" as two quadrants and "Generator" and "Processor" as two more quadrants. That give use the combinations: Audio Generator Audio Processor Control Voltage Generator Control Voltage Processor To the extent possible, each Wiard module is intended to have some function in all 4 quadrants of this grid. For example, the Classic VCO module: Audio Generator - 5 waveforms at audio rate Audio Processor - the onboard VCA does amplitude control, FM and Synch inputs Control Voltage Generator - in low range acts as LFO, AR envelope Control Voltage Processor - DC coupled VCA will mix and attenuate control voltages, AR envelope acts as envelope follower Sequantizer module: Audio Generator - programable waveforms at audio rate Audio Processor - "Select" input will distort audio, "Select" and "Step" together do complex ring modulation Control Voltage Generator - Sequencer Control Voltage Processor - Quantizer Envelator module: Audio Generator - Cycle mode runs into audio range Audio Processor - short envelopes can be triggered at audio rate (audio into "Gate" input) also crossfader at bottom has 20 Khz bandwidth Control Voltage Generator - Envelopes Control Voltage Processor - DC coupled crossfader will mix control voltages Waveform City module: Audio Generator - 256 waveforms at audio rate Audio Processor - waveshaper is accessable to process external audio Control Voltage Generator - in low range acts as LFO Control Voltage Processor - DC coupled VCA will attenuate control voltages and waveshaper can be used as quantizer or other function (base or peak clipping) Omni-Filter module: Audio Generator - Sine wave oscillator Audio Processor - Mixer, Filter and Phase Shifter Control Voltage Generator - Low rate sine waves Control Voltage Processor - DC coupled mixer will mix control voltages and filter will slew rate limit or AC couple (High Pass) Mixolator module: Audio Generator - Not directly supported but possible feedback controller inside of patch Audio Processor - Mix, Pan, crossfade attenuate Control Voltage Generator - Possible LFO using expernal cap?? Control Voltage Processor - DC coupled Mix, Pan, crossfade, attenuate
