We had discussion earlier. Please look at the history of messages starting
with message #17595 in December 2008.

In many cases (not all) the A-152 can be treated as an ASR. If you use e.g.
three identical VCOs that are controlled by the three outputs of an "real"
ASR the result is the same as if you use the A-152 (reduced to 3 steps).
