Okay, apparently I need to get with the program! After thinking about it a
bit I can think of a digital MOTM module I would absolutely ∗love∗ to see.

Mix together:

One really high powered DSP, one that preferable has a GNU toolchain
One CF card slot for loading programs, wave tables, whatever
A couple megs of high speed ram for delay/reverb algos
4 A/Ds for CV/Audio in mapped to the top row jacks, 192Khz of course.
4 D/As for CV/Audio out mapped to the bottom row jacks, ditto.
1 128x64 graphical LCD ( personally like optrex) aligned with...
6 knobs or (high res) optical rotary encoders
2 Midi ports for clock data etc?
1 reset button.
1 two wide MOTM style panel.

Now you have module where you can drop a CF card into it, hit reset and
load up a different DSP algorithm. Modular reverb? No problem. 3 tap delay
line? piece of cake. Got some wacky module you want to build? Grab a
compiler and get crackin.

I thinking something like a soundart chameleon designed to be inserted
into a modular system.
