Yes that makes sense. In thinking about it would be quite complicated.
and the more common stereo would be best for most applications. but
the 5.1 thing would be pretty great.

Perhaps on an 5.1 expansion model for the mixer it could be connected
via a ribbon cable and have a switch that would route the 4 inputs of
the model 18 to the 5.1 module outputs thus making them discreet on
the 5.1 module while also retaining the stereo information and outputs
on the mixer. somewhat akin to how the doepfer sequencer and sequencer
expansion modules work.

and also to make it even cooler, more expensive and complicated. it
would be great on the 5.1 module to have joystick controllers to
control the positioning of each channel! that way you would not be
restricted to 360 panning and could mix 5.1 like you would in a DAW.
would you be able to make that kind of spatial positioning voltage
controllable?

and i guess the last feature would be the .1 input/output. for this it
would be cool to have a switch where that output could either be a
summed output of the 4 inputs or a separate input with its own vca.

sorry if this is not the proper space to bring all this up. but the
idea of a 5.1 module seems very cool to me.

perhaps i should start a new thread for dream modules...

thanks,
