Here are some pics for you of #2:



Cheers!

It is a cool feature indeed, but I would like to point out one thing.flo wrote:The knob is bi-functional: from fully CCW to 12 o'clock it does CV attenuation, then from 12 o'clock to fully CW it does offset. That means, if you don't use any CV, sound will start to appear at 12 o'clock; if you use CV, the knob will attenuate that CV up to 12 o'clock, then start to offset it all (so it won't completely close). While it takes a little time to get used to it, I really like this feature, it's awesome!

While it does attenuate the range of the cv input the more you go past 12 o'clock (up to nearly no effect), you're then stuck with a loud signal. You still need to use a separate attenuator on the cv source first if you want both control of the range of the cv input and overall amplitude.
If you use the module as six separate vcas, that's not a problem if you further patch the output of the vcas to modules with built-in attenuation on the inputs. If you instead use the mixer aspect of the 802 and have one of the channel that needs to be both low in amplitude and needs to have the modulation source attenuated, you'll need to attenuate that cv source first.
But that's almost never a problem and we all have attenuators anyway. Much better than the linix imho; more compact, versatile mixer and it has the lin/log switches.
