hi linium,
i don't think that 0-5 volts is a problem!with these 5
volts you have a range of 5 octaves!!!unless you need
12 octaves for your vco's...
also,the 8 bit resolution is intended and not to be
rounded by a slew limiter,right
the real problem is the price!!for me 400-500 USD are
TOO MUCH!!i think that a price of 250 USD would be
great!!
anyway for me here in greece is too much problem to
buy a module from USA, so,....
but,it's an interesting module!!
