Good point! If we only had some great general purpose modules, then we
wouldn't be making pointless noise with our MOTMs -- it's all Paul's fault
<g>. But I do agree that a comparator and some other general purpose circuits
(e.g., inverter, bias voltage source) would make a great module, and that
these types of unglamorous modules (too) often get neglected.

I'd think that +5V into the B input would result in the same sounding
waveform (inverted version of what you describe) if I follow your
description, of course it's no easier to get +5V from a MOTM than -5V.

I'd bet there is a lot of great timbre modulation to be discovered with the
700 given that it will switch well up into the audio range -- experimentation
suggested here.
