You know, James, your desire for a panning output thing is something Will and I sympathize with and have been pursuing. I think YUsynth newly has a big one. Am I recalling that CGS has a version? So saying, there may be limited demand for one from Paul. But your point's well taken - I don't mean to be advising Paul not to invent one... we're coming late to this thread, and as Will and I discuss it, we find ourselves more interested in things we couldn't build ourselves or get elsewhere. And we thought maybe you hadn't seen Yves' new gadget. Bill (and Will)

Why buy wave shapers when you can just mix an infinite amount of oscillator outputs together? Why oh why use 'this' instead of 'that'? I personally think it would be nice to have one module that fades between two sources by means of one (or two) control voltages across one or more outputs without the need for multiple separate VCA's and inverter modules. And the 700 does not achieve what I am seeking, it is a discreet switch, not a cross fader. I don't think this request is that far fetched considering Paul had mentioned in the past that he was going to build one. I imagine it must have been requested by a few people for him to even consider it.

Same with sequencers, envelope generators, etc. Maybe a poll followed by a feature wishlist would be more useful?
