Well, I've posted much about my desire for quantizers in the past -- most
specifically the programmable type. But I could be interested in this initial
installment in the quantizer line due to the price.

I (very much) would like to see it implemented as a multi channel in multi,
channel out -- so you could quantize a few different CV sources. I think that
it would also be useful to have a resolution (between adjacent pitches) of
1/4 tone at the minimum end and maybe an octave at the high end (I can
imagine using octaves much more than say sixths or sevenths). I also like the
idea of being able to "move" through the tables via CV. It also seems that
1000 "notes" per table would be far more than necessary for most melodic
quantizers, so maybe each EPROM could hold more than 30 tables.

So I do hope that a more powerful quantizer would still be developed along
the ideas that have been outlined by Dave (and the very quite Thomas) and me
in previous posts. As it starts to approach DoMOAS, I still think that it
might be worth trying to develop DoMOAS as a series of modules which
interconnect rather than a Caddilac.
