I'd be very interested to hear about your ideas, should you decide to move
them to a front burner. I've been thinking for awhile--partly because of Tom
Wiltshire's PIC-based modules--that small micros are the way to go for CV
generator/processor modules. Personally I never seem to have enough LFOs in
my modular, so I'd like to do a digital LFO module with several simultaneous
outputs and some features for frequency and shape randomization, somewhat
like what one can achieve by cross-patching the FM inputs of two analog
LFOs.
