I will commit to 2 of each.
I have to go back to look at the specs ofthe Cloud Generator, but I’d really like it to be able to generate independentsine waves to be used as an additive synthesis VCO. If I remember correctly,the CG generates 8 waves? So 4 of these generating 8 waves each would roughlyequal the VCOs of a Synergy. I may be all wrong with my memory here.
Additive Synthesis is something that wouldopen up a whole new branch of sound design in the modular realm. As it is, I’musing my Synergy and K5000S for this, but the flexibility of my modular wouldmake it really interesting.

Why not letScott make the decision?
Wehave had several discussions about this already. He’s my panel vendor now, sothe has ‘skin in the game’.
Theway I would do it is:
a) Make the prototype pc boards on my dime
b) Make sure they work OK, the software may not be 100% butenough to test (like can read CVs from the A/D, etc)
c) Post to Kickstarter
d) See what happens
MySMT assembler is averaging 3 weeks to turn boards. That’s also about the timeto run panels. So call it 4 weeks for all the parts to arrive (the 3rditem is the ribbon cable between the pot board and main board, my supplier isalso 2-3 weeks there). The assembler has to wait for the pc boards to arrive,they average 18 days. So it would be ~ 8 weeks from end of funding goal (thegoals run 30 days).
Ican’t think of a better way for everyone to show support. If the new 5U modulesare a “hit” then that is evidence to Scott the risk is minimal. If I put theprojects up there and sell 14 modules then that’s probably the end of the linefrom me. Scott has 100% rights to so anything he wants to on his own. He hasrights to the MOTM name and all the older modules. I am not preventing him frommaking 10 new designs, to hire other designers, etc.
Iam just speaking for my involvement.
BTW:If you think the CG and the MT are not good candidates for this and othermodules are more desired and you think they would have a better “success rate”,now is the time to say so.
