About 600UKP, or ~$1000.

Worth every penny.

I do love the new form factor -- I saw pictures of the old one, and thought that it
looked unwieldy.  I think that they spun a bunch of stuff into an FPGA and so were
able to save a bunch of space.

It is certainly the coolest looking thing in my studio.  Last night, I had it
controlling my '420 filters (2x16 step sequencers dealing with the two filters via
an Expressionist), and the other two sequencers that it has dealing with a Waldorf
Q that I have (that was feeding the filters).  Then had that whole mess going
through my Eventide DSP-4000 on a gnarly reverb/phaser patch.

sleep?  why bother?

Can I take this moment to ask for a '303 filter MOTM module?  You *can't* tell me
that it would be hard or parts intensive, and I just looooove the sound that that
distortion makes, and I can't quite get the sound with the '420.
