sorry about the strange text formatting folks! yahoo's new webmail interface is doing some weird shite when replying/quoting.
to reiterate:
even though it's discontinued, you might be able to still find some of the A-111-5 (the module Dark Energy) available. i know Shawn at analoguehaven.com (the u.s. doepfer distro) still has some in stock. would probably be cheaper than the "four of each module" scenario.
in fact at the bottom of the doepfer page on the 111-5:

there is an example of using 4x111-5 with a 190-5 to create the very 4-voice polyphony scenario he wants.
