Hello Dieter,

Thank you for the prompt response.

I agree that menu driven systems are a pain and not really workable.

I only ask as my real estate is getting very limited now, unless I rack
to the ceiling and get a box to stand on :o)

Best wishes

David

So far there is no timeline for other derivates of the AD/DA prototype.
We
think about a digital, sampled ring modulator and a clocked version of
the
A-189-1 (i.e. an external clock input for the sampling rate instead of
the
CV). But maybe we can find a way to include all these functions into the
A-189-1 (e.g. one of the 16 modes is digital RM and an additional switch
that switches the SR socket between CV and clock function).

In general we tend to release several modules. It is impossible to use
the
same controls and in/outputs for all functions we are about to plan. And
I
personally hate these devices with tons of menus and submenus and
subsubmenus and endless parameter adjustments where you never know where
you
are and what are the current settings. I prefer a simple manageable
control
surface with direct access to as many parameters as possible.

And it would take probably years until such a multifunctional universal
device would be ready.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
