This looks like a really good idea. I love the 'amore exerciser'!  
Sounds almost kinky!

I especially like the possibility of expansion to polyphonic systems  
or programmability. A programmable synth becomes an obvious next step  
when everything is controlled by CVs.

There is an oddity on the list of connections though; -1V. Why is  
that included? Also -10V?

I'd also like to see a +5V supply for uP-based modules. My own PIC- 
based Env Gen and LFO would fit into this format beautifully.

Good work Jörgen!
