Hello Everybody and Merry Christmas,

I would like to thank all our loyal customers who have made the 
project such a success.

Here is an ouline of how I envisioned the discovery of the 300 
series modules. This is in relation to the discussion about 
modifications.

1. Exploring what the module can do in the sense of a traditional 
modules. That is, exploring the tone colors of the VCO, Envelator 
as ADSR and so on.

2. Exploring the axilliary modules within the enclosure. 
Discovering the VCA and envelope/slew in the classic VCO for 
example. Using them to do things like dynamic depth linear FM 
or as an additional attenuator for FC.

3. Discovering the strange modes of operation. Like using the 
Envelators at audio rates for chaos generation, using the 
Mixolators as balanced modulators, switching ranges to "Low" 
and exploring the outer edges of the functions.

4. Simple modifications. The multiple jacks labeled A,B,C,D at 
the bottom of the modules are only connected by solder bridges. 
This can be easily removed and the jacks connected to internal 
points on the modules. For example adding the external bank 
select and the second VCA input on the Wavefrom City.

5. Complex modifications. Every stage in each modules has a 
test point which can be used to patch out the module. Each 
module could support 50 jacks, but you would need the 
intelligence of a Martian to use them. None the less, the idea of 
"circuit bending" the modules themselves has been built into the 
design.

6. Normalizing into virtual instruments. After you have discovered 
what you like about the modules, you can permanently normalize 
them using the exposed ponts on the jack boards.

7. The one the customers find that I did not think of...
