I agree with VC EGs, although I think 8 stages (I'm wondering what the stages
would be) is a bit much, at least for an analog module (remember, each pot
adds about $10 to the module). I also recall Paul mentioning that DoMoaS
would be a good module for multi stage envelopes in which one could define
one's own stages and their number. BTW, why don't we just start calling
DoMoaS "MOAS," since it will obviously be a killer, and not "the ninth or
tenth greatest sequencer around."

Me for example!!!

I don't know. For a dedicated analog VC EG, I think the 5 stage would be
quite impressive -- but there could be room for a uP device that could be
configured to allow weirder envelope shapes.
