cool Ideas Tom, glad to see others are always thinking of new module ideas.. THe vocal filter, I think Pauls fixed filter bank will get you most of the way there, abeit withought a knob to change from one vowel to another..
Interpolating scanner, interpolating scanner!! woo hoo!!! Ive drooled over this one for years...
I like the idea of an open DSP module with maybe 8 knobs and 8 jacks, or 4 knobs and an LCD display (backlit of course : ) and a few ∗gasp!∗ menu buttons.. knobs and jacks assignable to whatever the particular program called for.. And Eldharts idea of a multi module with say 5 programs burned in and thats all: osc, amp, mixer etc. is pretty damn cool.. I couldnt write any of the algos though so I cant really push for this, and I guess getting a high enough resolution for MOTM spec audio I/O might make it a bit pricey ontop of what it would already cost... Its one of those "If I won the lottery" ideas... along with getting runs of chips manufactured and cool stuff like that... (surface mount poly modular in a suticase)
the mechanical ribbon is a cool idea also.. the trick would be getting a low enough mass for all the moving parts.. while keeping it durable.. the resolution sounds great though.. I guess though its a bit less versatile than a true electronic ribbon. maybe with a bit of programming.. i dunno..
