Re: Update - Weird Module Ideas

2003-03-03 by elle_webb <elle_webb@hotmail.com>

Of the proposed modules, the dual vca would be the hottest, as long 
as it will easily support voltage controlled panning.

Here are a few ideas that may be a little "out there":

Preset panel/wiring kit (The "spaghetti in your guts" module)
A simple panel and wiring kit that would support configuring 2 or 3 
semi-permanent normalized presets. Switch it in, and it would make 
the 5-10 connections inside your case for a basic patch. Switch it 
out, and it does nothing. 

Pro-One/MacBeth Kit
A kit for a complete basic lead synth similar to a Pro-One (without 
the keyboard) or a MacBeth. Two basic VCOs, noise, a LFO, a VCF, a 
VCA, two EG's, switches for selecting modulation routing, a basic 
Midi converter, and jacks for the most commonly used cv modulators in 
and out. 1 panel, 5U by 19". This could be used for live performance 
and situations where you want MOTM quality, but also need rapid 
switching of common modulations. 

Quantizer - CV in, quantized cv out. It should support several 
selectable equal tempered "quantizations" and just intonations, too.

Filter bank companion: 
How about a companion module to the fixed filter bank that would take 
an audio signal, split it into control signals based on the settings 
of the filter bank, and use these control signals to modulate a 
second audio signal. I'm not sure if this would make sense or not, 
but it seems like there would be a lot of cool things one could do 
with a modular approach to a vocoder.

Anything else weird on people's wish list?
