[sdiy] Panel fillers

[Dave Magnuson]

Here's one of my biggest complaints with 99% of the MIDI-CV devices:  The
pitch CV and pitchbend CV are always seperate.  If I were designing from
scratch, I'd consider having 3 outputs instead of 2:

1. pitch CV
2. PB CV (with attenuation)
3. a mix of pitch and PB (with atten on PB)

The reason I say this is 90% of the time I need 2 patch cables to run pitch
and PB to the VCOs.  Why not add a simple mixer and eliminate a patch
cable?  The individual outs would still be available if needed seperately.

Also, other good things to have:  jack multiples (buffered), attenuators,
gate->trig converters, portamento.  You could also add a VCA/LFO for mod
wheel.

How come I **NEVER** have an extra 10 sq inches of panel space?  I always
need 10 **MORE** sq inches of space!!

Congrats on the new module!!
