> Hmm great idea.  Now I need more oscillators ;)

that's a statement that is always true for every modularsynth-geek on
the face of this planet...

i _NEED_MORE_OSCILLATORS

(you may exchange "oscillators" for "filters","mixers","envelopes" or
for the more general "modules"...the latter is what i always tell my
girlfriend;) )


but where it gets really crazy is when you use a cv to select the step
in such a setup. i.e. use the sawtooth ouput of the VCO you're
modulating to select the active step; this way you will
have up to 8 different modulator waveforms within 1 cycle of the
carrier (or you could think of it as a single modulator with variable
frequency/spectrum). be carefull with the modulation intensity though,
this is obviously a feedback loop and tends to be rather..unstable
(which may be exactly what one likes about this approach ;) ). maybe
modulate pw at audiorate instead to break the loop, will give similar
results but leaves the saw-output unchanged.
oh yeah...if you take the output of one of the trigger-rows to sync up
all the oscillators you can avoid clicks due to non-zero values when
steps are switched (since the trigger signal will force them to start
at 0V)...at least theoretically (and probably only for sines and
triangles).
