Wow. I want those! A Pan/Fade VCA and Envelope net would be wonderful.
Really complex sounds can be made from lots of envelopes. A pan/x-fade
module would get me the most excited though. A quadraphonic rotary
fader would be sweet too: CV X + CV Y = ∗swooosh∗

I imagine this has been broached before, but Paul, have you ever
considered streamlining production with surface mount versions of the
modules? I understand there are some issues one has to deal with when
doing SMT, and some purists may complain about not being able to enjoy
the pleasure of hand soldering their modules ;) However...

...producing your modules (even partially) in a SMT design could lower
overall cost and reduce your workload, freeing up time to design more
modules for us and expand the MOTM line ;) I see you're starting to
already do this with your latest 5V line, and that makes a lot of
sense. I personally would like to see more modules, and I imagine many
here on this list would too.
