The new front panel seems to include all of the functions that were in
the 2 proposed expander modules?  Good move, if so.  I hope it's going
to be flat-backed, like the new type VCO.

However, there is a handy thing that could be added to this as an
expander - an effect send add-on - four knobs, one for each channel,
and an output at the top  maybe it could be jumpered as post fade or
pre fade.  I don't think anybody produces a modular output mixer with
an effect send, the serge one certainly doesn't include one.  It would
be really useful especially as there's a digital delay module
forthcoming.  Maybe the expander could have a "through" socket on it,
so several of them could be chained off of one output mixer.

On the subject of mixing, a mixer for in-patch mixing rather than
output mixing would obviously be a cool future module.  Either a basic
simple 5 into one mixer, maybe splittable into a 3-1 and a 2-1, or
better still an audio-oriented take on the  "Dual Voltage Processor",
maybe with a fourth input per side replacing the offset control, the
outputs simplified a little - left out, mix out, right out - and
straight level LED meters instead of the dual-colo(u)r +/- voltage
leds.  that would rock, actually.

Curious to know more about the proposed multiple module too.

I'll say it's an odd coincidence, but it's my own fault!
