Subject: Re: List of proposed/discussed modules

From: "cormallen" <motm@...>
Date: 2009-02-15

I'd ∗love∗ a CV quantizer - I've tried using my Miniwaves for
quantization, but 8-bit lookup tables aren't accurate enough for
pleasant tuning! Ideally a quantizer with at least two channels...

On the list below, I'd be particularly interested in the 130 Pan/Fade,
810 VC-EG, 2?? Delay and 450 FFB. (Oh, and the vocoder, if I could
afford it!)

(I'm also really tempted by the modcan vector fader. Anyone made a
black panel for that one?)
