Thanks, indeed low on quantizers. I've added an Ornament & Crime, should provide at least 2 quantizers. The disting EX can serve as 2 more if needed.
As for VCA's there are already 8 on board (1 Dual in row 2, and a Quad VCA + Dual VCA in row 3), apart from 4 EG's (knowing a slew limiter can be used as a simple EG, I might have 5). Shouldn't that be enough VCA's ?
As for mixers there is a 3-in-1, a 4-in-2, and 2 more 3-in-1 unity mixers. I may be using my external mixing panels .What is a cascading VCA?

I'd use all 4 channels of the O&C - better to use the same quantizer if possible... and the disting for somehting else...
maybe it's enough - I tend to use a lot of vcas - for note shaping, voltatge controlled volume control and for VC modulation (modulate your modulation!!)
I also tend to use a lot of mixers - mixing waveforms from the same vco, or from multiple vcos before filtering for example...
matrix mixer, matrix mixer matrix mixer!!!! unfortunately saying it 3 times does not summon 1 - my main application for these is to take copies of 4 modulation sources and mix them together in different ratios - to get 4 more related, but different modulation sources - which are also attenuatted - almost never use full range modulation.... but they can also be used for send/return to effects and for feedback loops... amongst other things - reallt, really useful!
cascading vca - it's a for example quad vca that also mixes the outputs - sometimes the inputs and sometimes the cv - veils for example, or the intellijel quad vca...

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
