>i need the 138 for other things in a patch

This brings up a topic that seems worth discussing.

When I was starting my system and reading up on the A100, the general
consensus I saw was that the A138a was an important module in an A100
system, and that, like A118's, one needed "plenty" of them, whatever
that might mean.

In my four-row system, I ended up with 2 A138a mixers in addition to
the A138b that I generally use for oscillator mix. I was concerned
that it might not be enough, but so far, two linear mixers seems
neither too few nor too many.

Just out of curiosity, and maybe to help others estimate their needs,
how many A138a mixers does everybody have, and how big is your system
