This is a don't care for me, as any cabinet I build will be large enough to
consume the power from a good sized power supply.

We must think alike. I've been considering for awhile how useful discrete,
unfiltered outputs from the MOTM-120 would be. I would take the outputs
from the 74HC157 MUX so the outputs could be selectable between suboctave
and cross. The cross (AND function) could be useful for unusual triggering
modification, and add something different than the upcoming VC Pulse Divider
module.
