Hi there!
 A quad VCA is definitely a good thing.
 I share the idea of two characteristics per VCA, but instead using pots
 I´m in favor of a lin/exp switch.
 One audio input is enough and an attenuated CV-input is much more
 important than a gain pot (Sorry Julian, but I hardly use this function).
 just my two cents...

 PS: I just read John´s message. Yes, of course! The A-135 will do the
 job too, and adding single outs should be no problem (yes, I like DIY! ;-)
