Sometimes I use a chord-generator patch which creates triads - two
VCOs are tuned to fifths, and a third VCO is controlled from the A156
to insert the appropriate third: major, or minor, based on the root
note CV.

The A156 is particularly nice with random LFOs (needs an offset
voltage)

The trigger output of the A156 is an endless source of rythmic
variations, I experiment with it constantly - sometimes
successfully, sometimes not.

If you have an A156, you'll be pleased to also have the CV Source
module, both for offsetting bipolar CVs to feed into the A156, and
also to create transpose voltages.

Does the A156 count as an "exotic" I use it constantly, sometimes
even with the A155! :-)
