Prophet-82

For fun, I've thought a bit about an follow up/replacement to the Prophet '08 and what features I'd like to see.

Here's some ideas I've had in my mind:

2 VCO's or DCO's - New DCO design, not the same synth on a chip. Offers Hard Sync
1 Sub oct - Was thinking of the Roland way, i.e. switchable -1 Oct Square, -2 Oct Square, and finally -2 Oct Pulse
1 Noise generator

The oscillators should have individual level controls into the filter with the ability to let them clip.

1 VCF based on the SSM2040 design used in the Pro-2 and Prophet-6, but with the addition of a 2 pole mode.
The 2 pole mode will still use the full 4 pole resonance feedback path (if the design permits it).

1 VCA with a built in overdrive that can be enabled via a switch.

3 EG's - Traditional ADSR. 3rd EG can be routed to OSC1 Freq, OSC2 Freq, OSC1 PW, and OSC2 PW.

2 LFO's - Because 2 are nicer than one. Targets individual OSC Freq and PW, as well as Filter Freq. LFO1 scaled by MW

ARP + SEQ - Same as in the Prophet-6 perhaps

61 Keys with velocity and aftertouch, and a module/desktop version.

Might as well throw in 76 wooden, weighted keys with PolyAT.
