This would be the "crazy" part of crazy talk ;)  At least amongst the 
small group of people who I've shown the MOTM to, they pretty much 
universally agree that your synth sounds really, really nice. I think 
the cynthia example is a fine one.

Hmm, maybe because I'm a software engineer that part doesn't seem to 
bother me too much. On the other hand, those DSP eval boards are a 
little to expensive for me to bolt into a stooge panel and call it a 
day.

I have an eclipse, and access to a 7000 too. Neither of these boxes 
integrates into the signal and control path of my modular worth a damn. 
They are all post processing equipment. Way overpowered for adding a 
little delay  to one input of a '440. This is the crux of the problem. 
I don't think this theoretical module should try to compete with an 
M3000 or an Orville.   It doesn't need multitapped echo chambers with 
variable room size and a preset called "Mountain Goat 3" It just needs 
delay time, feedback, and a low pass. All CV controllable.

Maybe I'll pick up a 56k eval board with my next mouser order ;)
