> Just a sneak peek at PIC modules in development.


hello all,
love the new modules,

the clock divider - maybe that could stretch to a 3u panel..? that way there
could also be room for that bank of LEDs that everyone wants ;-). what does
"ramp ampl." do, something to do with trigger threshold on /N..? or am i
wildly off the mark here -

ratio divider - i'm assuming this is more VCO based, so if i set it to 2:1
and chucked 440Hz into it, i'd get 220Hz out of it, what's available ratio
wise - integers between 1-32 again..?

dual delay - could the buttons be replaced by some kind of rotary
encoders..?

size, permitting, maybe the display could be put in the top left hand pot
position, allowing the pots & jacks (especially on the ratio divider) to
take up a more natural MOTM layout. also if you only need to cycle from 1-32
on the dividers, is there a need to include a fine / course control - or was
this added as a performance control..?

anyway, as always, i can't wait for these new modules and look forward to
spending those dark winter evenings happily dividing by N
oh yes - i've one more thing to add to the debate - NIXIE TUBES !!!

cheers paul b (ducking)
