Hi Dieter,
And doing the analyzer in dsp while the synthesizing filters stay analog wouldn't help
The audio signal could stay throughout in the analog domain.

Such flexible filters (at least a fully voltage controlled 24dB VCF for each channel) would multiply the costs for the vocoder and
consequently reduce the sales again. I think we will refrain from the development of a new vocoder, not because of the additional
suggestions but as there are many good DSP based vocoders on the market (as mentioned by Florian) and because we would have to do a
total redesign the A-129 because of the obsolete Curtis VCAs and the Atari-based design of the former A-129 modules.
Best wishes
