great news!

definitely: volume, filter cutoff

nice to have: filter res, EG1/2/x decay, LFO1/2/x speed, DCO1/2 level
level

if the UI allows (and ultimately, as mike keeps tweaking the code i think
the UI will prove to be the limiting factor in how many features can be
included), i'd like to see velocity assignable to anything that can
conceivably be controlled by it, with an option to invert the direction of
control.

mike, have you though about doing a synth kit from scratch? like a fatman
or AVR? i really don't need another synth, but with your attention to
detail and "customer focus", not to mention the technically superior job
your doing, i'd have to consider buying one. i've already got my eyes out
for another 800... i just passed on one that was as-is, broken,
pick-up-only (auckland) and sold for >150NZ$.
