MOTM

Yes, the milton list is dead. Yuck. The milton is stil your best bet,
as it addresses all of your list mostly. The pcb's and schems are
still available, although the custom made pic that does some of the
more cool things isn't available anymore. I've got a milton in motm
format (sort of - it's been squished somewhat) that is still in 98%
complete format - something on one of my bank boards is blowing out
the engine board chips, and its just something I need to track down.
You can see it in my modular at

Note that only 2 of the knobs are on in this picture - I'm still
debugging so the bank boards are moving in and out a lot, and the
knobs get in the way. I've got a set of the same kind of knobs as Paul
uses, just the next size down, and they look really good.

I'm not sure what you mean by the pot board being too big - that's
about as small as you can make a 16 step board.

I don't know of anything that's anything close to the milton, unless
you go into the realm of software sequencers - numerology is pretty
nice.
