I'm interested in this thread, because I will soon complete a couple of John
Blacet's VC envelop generators, which offer many of the features mentioned.
http://www.blacet.com/EG1.htmlI've designed a Schaeffer MOTM panel for the Blacet EG 2070, and added a VC
input with attenuator that affects all the time parameters. I'm expecting
deliver of the panels soon. The panel design is available on the Yahoo
motmpanels file system.

have a nice feature set, since Paul Schreiber listens well to his customers.
