Here you go Florian... my reasons for a digital display.

Simply because I don't manufacture devices - I use them, so I don't know if
a simple 8digit display is more expenisve than a analog display. I own a
mulitmeter but it doesn't handle minijacks and it is very fuzzy to measure
thing with it. You have to patch and unpatch and then fiddle around to find
the tip to measure against.

Also I feel a bit like Bakis does(mostly). If it can be made by Doepfer and
is useful I rather have a Doepfer module that a mix of stuff that doesn't
fit into the rack. It is more useful, looks better and it's Doepfer =)

I prefer digital displays cause then 0,52 is 0,52 and not somewhere between
to lines. But that is a personal taste that some may share and others not.
Anyway a module with analog or digital display beat any standard multimeter
to my needs.

It it will be much cheaper or not remains to be seen. Doepfer hasn't given
us a ballpark figure yet. I will wait for that before I judge.

Further more if it was purely about economics I would sell all my analog
gear and buy a cheap second hand novation or waldorf VA-synth. Sometimes we
just like things to be modules, don't we =)

Sincerely
/Andreas
