the version shown at the Musikmesse Frankfurt could be available within
about two months. But there was a lot of discussion about additional
features (e.g. mute switches or buttons) and the type CV connections
(integrated to the module or as separate modules with or/without attenuators
and many more). Finally it will depend upon the results of the discussion
when the module will be available. The additional suggestions mainly concern
to the front panel layout (which socket or control or switch at which
position) but not the basic functions.

> is this architecture already closed

no, but the basic architecture (VCF with VCQ, VCA, VC panning section for
each sub-module) will not be changed.

definitely. The main idea is live mixing/filtering/panning of 4/8/12...
inputs and for this application socket in the upper area of the front panel
would be bothering.

The idea of the module was a four-fold VCF+VCA+Pan. So the filter sections
will not be omitted.

Of course. One has a separate CV for each parameter of each sub-module -
even panning.

yes.
