yes, what RM said. now that clock options are mentioned, why
not both i imagine the 154 will find itself running along side
pairs of 155s for many users, me for one. so maximum flexibility
w two 155s will hopefully be well researched.
an on/off toggle switch w momentary sync position for each 155
would be very useful. be nice to hit the brakes on one 155, or
allow one to step out of order while the other runs in order, with
the ability to resync.
also, i think RM's suggestion for cv slope control could be a
deciding factor for me in buying 'yet another filter'. would beat
having to buy 2 extra modules for morphing slope (a la 108).
