I have a lot of module ideas; I've discussed quite a few of them with Paul
already.

The ones that are currently getting me most excited are BASS and SNARE
modules.

These are pretty straight forward analog panels.

1U each

Volume knob

Pitch (tuning) knob

Snappiness (for SNARE)

Decay (for BASS)

CV in (possibly)

Gate in (unlikely)

Trigger in

Voltage out

Perhaps there are some other unique controls to be added by using pots for a
few resistors here and there or adding a couple of controlled funky caps. I
am not the expert for this, but the idea is there. Once again, try to
create a unique MOTM sound or method of playability.

Yes, you can make these types of sounds, but it takes a lot of modules.

808 and 909 emulations quickly come to mind.

Handclap module!!!! Oh yeah!

Perhaps a white noise-based cymbal module?

Perhaps a unique percussive module?

A module for toms, claves, congas?

This will be incredible when the sequencer comes out. I invision the
sequencer having 4 - 8 trigger outs. Each step could send a trigger to any
out (actually I have much more complicated idea in mind). Essentially send
a trigger to TRIGA on steps 1, 5, 9, and 13. Send triggers to TRIGB on all
16 steps. Send triggers to TRIGC on 3, 7, 11, and 15. Send TRIGA to IN of
MOTM BASS, TRIGB to HIHAT (or something high, short and chirpy) and TRIGC to
MOTM SNARE. Instant analog drum machine!!!!!! (The outputs can go into
your mixer or the MOTM mixer.)

The ideas get wilder from here.
