hello matthew,
i don't agree with you.the matrix 6 has DCO's!the a111
are real vco's.and they sound much better!i owned the
matrix 6 some yeasrs ago and it's sound was far worse
than the sound of my a100 modular!ok,the a111 vco's
sound cleaner than the a110's and the moog vco's,but
they still sound great.
bakis.
