great news!

===================

definitely: volume, filter cutoff

nice to have: filter res, EG1/2/x decay, LFO1/2/x speed, DCO1/2 level 
level

if the UI allows (and ultimately, as mike keeps tweaking the code i think 
the UI will prove to be the limiting factor in how many features can be 
included), i'd like to see velocity assignable to anything that can 
conceivably be controlled by it, with an option to invert the direction of 
control.

mike, have you though about doing a synth kit from scratch? like a fatman 
or AVR? i really don't need another synth, but with your attention to 
detail and "customer focus", not to mention the technically superior job 
your doing, i'd have to consider buying one. i've already got my eyes out 
for another 800... i just passed on one that was as-is, broken, 
pick-up-only (auckland) and sold for >150NZ$.
