I couldn't possibly agree more.

JH, that is clever!! I like this idea very much, but I'd rather have it
include VC control. If it were 2U, and divided the output voltage of an
exponential converter by the four pots it would also make a useful audio
source. You could also put four JH f/N circuits in the feedback path of
four 4046's to multiply the frequency of a core VCO, but that would take
more parts and might not work at low frequencies.
Is sdiy up and running?? I haven't recieved any mail.

OK :) Then I'd like to submit my strange idea of an LFO as a
possible 500 module. People say they want a VC EG and an "EMS trapezoid",
well, there you go :)
