i get what you say (and agree with the vca before the a136 audio input), but i still also like cv modulation of the a136...    :-)

Hi Bakis,

That is, what I want to say: You don't need CV control for distortion.

Distortion becomes interesting, if the input signal changes already.
Having a steady input signal, and changing the distortion is mostly
(90%) unsatisfying.

If you have an steady signal, and increase the distortion threshold,
then the signal becomes thinner (from psycho acoustical point of view).
If you have a steady signal and increase the level and overtone
relations of the input signal, then the overall "look and feel" of the
power of the sound stays the same.

Put an envelope modulated VCF or VCA before a not modulated distortion,
and you will be happy.
