thanks for your feedback!
ill be on the lookout for a different filter from the ALM MCF now. same thing goes for the new CV to MIDI output module that fits within the hp.
In regards to the question about what needs to be clocked by midi besides Pams, i was thinking i could send midi notes from my digitakt 2 through the mutant brain to transpose sequences in the mother 32, while also maybe sending other midi note sequences to to a secondary voice like the VCO2 fron Erica. those are the only two instances i can think of since the envelopes qould be covered by Pams.
thanks for your feedback though, good to know im going in the right direction
