Denis,
I still have problems to understand the audible difference in case of e.g.
three VCOs. The only difference between the A-152 and an ASR is that the
"history" CVs are available at different outputs. In case of an ASR the
"history" voltages are shifted to the next CV outputs. In case of the A-152
they remain at the same CV output. But from my point of view this does not
make an audible difference (unless you insert e.g. slew limiters between ASR
CV Out and VCO CV In) as the three CV output voltages are the same. They
only appear at different sockets. If the VCOs are equivalent this should
make no difference. please correct me if I'm wrong.
