It is interesting that too hear that the A155 could make a graphic VCO with
the standard VCO. Now I find the A155 a bit pricey and I don't really have a
good feeling for "in theory but not tested" so it would be nice to hear if
anybody indeed does pull it off. Anyway I always dreamed of having a graphic
VCO(thus I draw waves on the computer and loop them, if the sampler module
was a bit better I would buy that, but 8 bit is too low for me). I not sure
what kind of graphic LFO Dieter designed, but I sure would like to see the
specs for it.

On the other hand it might have been something totally different from what I
have thought about. As I have pictures it there should be an oscilloscope in
it or even better as a separate module(that can be used with everything in
the A100). Then I have thought about something like 8segments with a
knob/slider and a switch an two jacks for each. The switch and one jack for
selecting the slope (Log/lin/square) the other to set the the value of the
segment end point (the start for the first and the end for the rest). The
jacks of course for cv-control from other modules. 8segments seems more than
sufficent for me, perhaps even 4 could be enough.

What have you guys been dreaming up when thinking "graphic VCO"

Of course still I think there are other more high on the agenda task that
doepfer should do first.
