While I wasn't too crazy about the micro-module concept initially, ultimately I believe we'll see this as being a good decision by Paul. This gives existing customers the ability to expand without breaking the budget or cabinet dimensions. I've wanted more LFOs for my system but was hesitant to add more 320 VCLFOs due to their size. Now I'll have 6 LFOs in 2U which is just phenomenal. Many of us have been waiting for a ladder filter, and that 1U mixer is perfect for sprinkling throughout a system to put mixers just where you need them. The uVCO is bound to be very popular, and even I've decided that I need another VCO and the micro version is more than sufficient for expanding my system. And let's not forget the pedal interface which is one of those modules that you always need more of, not just as a pedal interface but as a general utility module. New customers can now find a lower cost entry point. Anyone on the Synthesizers.com list can see many people think there's no difference between modules with 80 cent potentiometers and $8.00 potentiometers. These lower cost modules will make them think twice about that, especially when looking at kit prices. Building the kits is fun, in my opinion, even relaxing.

Maybe everyone was at NAMM except me? I quite like the idea of the Quad LFO and micro LFO. Put 'em together and you've got 6 LFOs in 2U, or a couple regular LFOs and a funky compound waveform source. It's tough to beat the price too, with the micro modules. I hope Paul's ready for the influx of orders; I need some little LFOs. Let me get my shopping list out...
