yes, i see that in a similar way.
it is not that the a111/2 gives us really new timbres,
but it's usefulness is really great. you just use
it an other ways than a standard vco, because almost
all parts are right where you need them.

florian pointed out that the functionality could be
replicated with ordinary modules, and of course he is right.
besides the a111 you would need three mixers to provide
the composed waveforms, and an addressed switch (a152)
to select between these mixes by a voltage.
the morphing could be done with an a134 panner and the
cheapest way to get the second pulse waveform would
be the use of an a167 comparator. i'm not counting
the needed a180 multiples and still i count six additional
modules to get the functionality of an a111/2 out of an a111,
and then you still don't have the vcf and the vca.
