The cp-251 is very useful in combination with the Moogerfoogers and other analogs you already have... but if you look at all the CV outputs the Voyager has to offer via the VX-351, you will probably get more modular cv-patchin' bang for your buck from the VX-351. In addition to all the Voyager CV outs, the VX-351 sports a 4-way multiple jack and two passive attenuators, so the only things on the CP-251 that you absolutely miss out on with the VX are the Lag processor, 4-input CV mixer, and the inverting (active, bipolar) attenuators on the CP-251. <-- these are very nice things to have, and if you get really into the modular thing you may eventually want the CP-251 anyway. But, this is my advice for now. I think you'll have fun...

Cheers,

Amos

This is so complicated all that I can really say is that youll need both.

Maybe in Feb when you get your income taxes can you get the other.

You will be happy with either one though.

Eric pleads another neutrality.
