Subject: 1 wide range tuning of VCO continous vs switched, was: discontinuation of all modules with CEM3320, CEM3340 and CEM3381/PA381


Hi Dieter

I bought the Roland System 100 from Bakis some month ago, which has a
VCO without octave switch, but a wide range potentiometer and a fine
tune. I really appreciate this feature for a lot of sounds and find it
extremely more useful than a 5- or 6-octave switch. Nevertheless I
sometimes miss the possibility to switch one ocate up or down. So my
suggestion is:
- wide range pot 10 octaves
- fine tune 10 semitones
- on-off-on toggle switch with one octave up, normal, one octave down.
