[sdiy] Invent a new module with me?

[Henry Birdseye]

Let me pose this question for all you electronic architects.

Of the hundreds of different modules built by several dozen 
manufacturers, there is one module that I have never seen available.

There is no synthesizer module (mine is Eurorack) that records high 
quality audio in long clips. Of course, you can record outputs into your 
PC or on an external device and save it, but I'm envisioning a module 
with, say, 8 inputs via 3mm jack (or banana or 1/4"), it has a simple 5 
button jog control and a recording triggered by pullse. When all is 
recorded, it dumps audio recorded upwards of 96k 24-bit, or less wave, 
ogg, mp3, whatever to a flash card and from there to computer. It would 
play back from the card too. Simple operation and control.

Eurorack modules range in price from $50 to a couple thousand bucks. I 
think this would be an extremely popular thing to own. It honestly has 
never been sold.

There are tens of thousands of synthesizer people now, and the market is 
absolutely churning with new modules and a growing base. Next time you 
have nothing else to think about, ponder how one of these could be built 
into a 3u panel, 2 inches deep as wide as necessary, and how much it 
would cost. I will owe you beers if you can help me conceptualize this 
thing. The forums on MuffWiggler are screaming for a module that 
records. I know it would sell big time.

Thoughts?
