What sounds interesting to me is modular FM. The DX-7 algorithm could
be replaced by a patchbay of jacks. This way, operator 4 could be
processed through a Wavewarper before modulating operator 1. Each input
would have its own pitch control and CV (with LED frequency display),
as well as level CV.
Hey, I just designed a $600 module. Perhaps I should back off a bit. I
actually like the Additive module idea better, since much of this FM
and AM can already be done on MOTM with 300s and Wavewarpers.
