the first synth i ever bought was old Vermona ,it was working well until it could not be triggered anymore from the keys ,then it went where all broken gear goes ,i wrote to folks at Vermona to get the schematics and fix it ,i got the schematics and it remained in the basenent for years , as the keys are gone it leaves a lot of panel space ,i located the trigger and cv input , the odd vcos react interesting to audio range input ,more .. the " fine" input can be used for just that ,the " briliance" or " real frq " of the vcf would be nice with additional cv's ,first idea for the free space and in order to keep the instrument's caracter is to make a MFOS 32 step seq as it will exactly fit the space too ,here are few images of the Vermona

" She adjusted the controls of a musical instrument that played soft and complicated strains out of it's own creative bowels by striking notes and chords in a random manner ; the randomness weighted in favor of pleasant combinations by intricate mathematical formulae. The music could no more repeat itself then could snowflakes ,and could no more fail of beauty ."

Asimov Isaak - The End of Eternity (1955)
"A vague blur of music had started up at one end of the chamber .A music robot ,creating random combinations of sound ,harmonic colors and shades that flitted agilely ,too subtle to pin down .Some couples started dancing listlessly. " 
Solar Lottery ( World of Chance) 1955
Philip K Dick
