This is another option I've considered:

http://www.analoguesystems.co.uk/modules/rs130.htm

but it's expensive, and in the wrong format.

>I think it looks pretty neat.

It does look neat. In addition to 16-bit quantizing, it seems to
also include a 4-channel one-way router and various logic functions,
although I don't know how useful they would be.

>It appears to me that the panel format is already MOTM size.

It looks that way, but I would want to make sure. I couldn't find
any specifications on their web page -- nothing about dimensions,
power requirements, etc. It doesn't say what is required in building
the kit version, either, or what equipment is needed to calibrate it.

It looks like some of the connectors are 1/4" and the rest are
bananas. I have no idea if 1/4" jacks would fit. If they don't, a
940 or TS-->banana adapter cables would work.

Right, that would be like putting Yugo engine in a Cadillac.

I could live with a white module if it were MOTM format, but I'd like
to know more about it before I buy one. Anyone know what the 24
scales are??
