COMPLAINTS BY MODULE :
ARP
Switch to disconnect keyboard from arp / sequencer
Even a way to point the arp / sequencer to certain voices
Ratchet and tie as performance controls during the arp would be great
MOD
A cv in for amount, so I could modulate this whole bus with something other than the mod wheel
Or a cv in to replace the lfo with some other source that could also modulate the whole bus
Just like the sub 37, the range on the pot for pitch is 90% useless
UTILITIES
I actually think they're exactly what they need to be.
Being vca's, being bipolar, mults working as mixers, all good choices.
OSC
Why can't I disconnect oscillators from pitch to use them as unsynced lfo's
the lowest notch on the CV switch should be lo frequency.
MIXER
I cannot believe it isn't stereo.
Needs to be stereo, even if it's just cv in for panning, which there is definitely room for the jacks.
If or even better, panning CV and pots for panning
FILTER
One master cut off gives us some cool behaviors, but it really makes me wish each filter had a seperate cutoff also.
Spacing would be much more useful of it actually changed both filter cutoffs, and was modulatable like that.
Because as it stands, using the filters truly seperately would require a lot ton of external patching.
Envelope amt in should break the normalled connection to envelope 1, letting us use the amt knob to attenuate some other signal, instead of just modulating the envelope contribution.
ENVELOPES
Are fine, but modulating times would be nice
DELAY
Spacing works way great here, and honestly I think it's better than two separate times
I would love a switch like the filter, for series, parallel, or ping pong.
OUTPUT
Cv ins should break normalling, but that's it.
And for everything on the back, note & gate outs for individual voices would make this so much more flexible when paired with a eurorack system.
True 4 voice poly would be way more straightforward, as of now it can be done with some external midi to cv conversion
