I'll need a new power supply, too, if I understand it correctly. That
puts it in the $600 range for me.

I know that's the price of admission to get to use some of the
powerful new modules. Since I can't afford to just get them all - :(
- it does make me want to want to understand the new modules more,
and hear how they are being used before I commit to just one.

I'm sure that the uSeq has tremendous power beyond what "knobs and
blinky lights" offer. I understand knobs and blinky lights, though,
and am still a little mind-boggled by the uSeq. My impression is that
it brings a range of interesting new functionality to the modular,
but that it may complement, rather than replace, a more traditional
sequencer.

I'll look forward to hearing more about it and will daydream about
the new lineup in the meantime....
