crow,
my interest in the trigger out jack is based on past serge experience where i
found it useful for triggering other things at the end of an eg`s cycle, not
in an attempt to make the module more sequencer-like. i`m probably also a bit
biased as my current modular has inverters as modules so getting an inverse
control voltage is easy ( plus, they have the function built into the eg`s
already and i find i miss the trigger jack, which they don`t have! ). i do
agree that "creeping featuritis" is something that must be watched out for
during a modules gestation period. keep it ( the module) as focused as
possible. if other things fall out of the design as serendipity, great, but
don`t add so much stuff that you dilute the central concept.
best,
dave v.
