hello chris,

i totally agree with you that dynamic depth fm is great,
but including such a function would be nothing else than
adding a vca, which is already available in many incarnations.

so why including a filter and a waveshaper on the a111/2
because they are already on the cem chip, so it would be
a waste not to use them.

best wishes
