"here is the list of possible modifications/expansions
for the new modules
A-189-1 Bit Modifier and A-137-2 Wave Multiplier II:

A-137-2:

O Leave it as it is (price ~ Euro 50-60, release date
~ April 2008, 8 HP
width)
O Add a phase shift offset control for each of the
four units (price ~ Euro
70-80, release date ~ May 2008, ~ 14 HP width)
O Add also an internal connector with single outputs
for 4 x saw and 4 x
rectangle (price ~ Euro 80-90, release date ~ May/June
2008). An 4 HP
expansion module with 8 sockets could be connected to
this connector to have
each output available separately. The expansion module
will be about Euro
35)
O Add also an internal mixer with 5 controls for
original and the four
additional signals (price ~ Euro 100-110, ~ June 2008,
~ 20 HP width)

my personal favourite: item three
reason: offset control is useful if both bipolar (e.g.
LFO) an unipolar
(e.g. ADSR) control voltages have to be used, if
desired the expansion
module can be added to have single outputs available,
an internal mixer is
not worth the additional charges from my point of view
(and the front panel
becomes larger and larger ...)

A-189-1:

O Leave it as it is (price ~ Euro 70, release date ~
April 2008, 8 HP
width)
O Replace the mode selection via rotary switch by
voltage control, i.e.
manual control + CV input with attenuator or polarizer
(price ~ Euro 80-90,
release date ~ May 2008, ~ 14 HP width)
O Add also a switch to select between voltage control
of the sample rate
and external clock, i.e. additional switch and socket
(price ~ Euro 90-100,
release date ~ May/June 2008, ~ 14 HP width)
O Add also a (digital) VCA at the signal input, i.e.
additional manual
control + CV input with attenuator or polarizer (price
~ Euro 100-120,
release date ~ June 2008, ~ 14 HP width), it is not
sure that this last
feature can be realized, we still have to test if the
microcontroller is
fast enough for this function (additional
multiplication).

my personal favourite: item one
reason: I don't think that the voltage control of mode
makes much sense and
even the external clock does not bring too much new,
and VCAs are normally
availabe in each system"

please, but the polls will be open for ONLY one week,
so, vote now!

thanks!
best regards, :-)
