MOTM

Play and patch Doepfer and you'll see the light<g>.

The MOTM Envelope follower will be 2U. The triple preamp was 
announced to be 1U. This is a large format system, as others have 
pointed out. Try it, you'll like it! Forcing modules down to 1U for 
the sake of compactness is a false economy - you end up leaving out 
things like built-in input mixers, inverted outputs, and initial bias 
controls. You then have even more need for external utility modules 
to do mixing, inverting, and biasing. In any kind of reasonably sized 
system, it works out to about the same size in the end.

Some of us have built utility modules and put them behind MOTM panels 
to fill the gaps in our systems. It's no big deal to buy a blank 
panel and DIY protoboard from Paul, to build any number of simple 
opamp circuits for these kind of functions.
