Hi bakis

I haven't heard the new versions of the A130/131, but I'm with you:
even though the A132 isn't supposed to be used for audio, that's
exactly what I use it for when I want to dirty up the sound a
little for added warmth. You'll remember it was one of my three
picks back in the "favorite modules" discussion!

I also do a lot of midi modulation, because I believe that half of
what makes a great patch is the ability to play it expressively.
The A132 is great for controlling modulation intensity - from a midi
controller, from the A155, from a ramp voltage, you name it.
