Yes, I totally see your point, if the module is going to have temperature compensation/be useful as quad VCO. Maybe it would be worth the extra expense (HP and €) to have both: 2 CV ins + reset in per LFO/VCO (Or at least a simple compromise: a single "common" reset/sync in for all 4 LFOs/VCOs, which would fit on the panel without making the module wider.)
That would be very useful when for example using the four square outs for triggering synchronised polyrhythmic stuff. And wouldn't the reset inputs be the same as hard sync inputs in the audio range (please inform me if I am wrong) Think of the monstrous sync lead sounds that could be made, syncing all 4 VCOs to a master oscillator :-) Or the intersting things that could be made by syncing one "submodule" to another's square out. Now I'm just speculating of course.
