[sdiy] The Anything Box: Laptop as module?

[Tim Parkhurst]

Maybe what we need is a USB based conversion card with one set of A/D and
D/A optimized for CV applications, and another set optimized for audio.
Then, hack together a 'visual programming' interface and 'viola!', you have
a basis for making super-duper LFOs, Multi-segment EGs, step sequencers,
tracking generators, VCFs, etc, etc. 

It would basically be a 'soft synth' but one you could patch into your
existing analog modular.

Doesn't sound like it would be more than a year or two worth of work... ;)
