Rather, adding new modules with similar functionality - eg, the VCF vs XMF modules - could be confusing.
He argued to get rid of the FM modules... 1 osc and 1 fm module is more flexible than the fm module integrated into the osc... with 2 separate modules, I can put the fm module in a separate channel... I can also put another module between them... that is some important functionality lost by making them one module
He also argued that 4 filters and not 6 is enough... I disagree... though I would be fine if the xmf functionality were wrapped into the standard filter (GUI would have to expand cause the xmf is twice the size of the regular filter) but I would still like 6 filters... it is easy to use filters fast... 1 for decimation, 1 for some eq, 1 as the main filter and another as a hp filter you have 4 in one channel right there... So I would like the regular filter and xmf integrated and have 6 of them cause then I would have 6 regular filters and sometimes 4 is tight (and I use an xmf then) since they also serve as sample rate reducers (decimators), phasers and eq's and not just as regular filters... actually, I wouldn't mind 8 but definitely 6 and not 4
