First off, as I've stated several times, I'm *always* thinking about new 
modules and the best way to implement them going forward.

The circuitry used in the Frac VCA ('1190) uses 80% of the circuitry in the 
MOTM-130 X-Fade VCA. So, that design is tested and so it's a matter of 
converting from Frac to MOTM, and adding the cross-fade 'hooks' in the 
hardware (obviously, the VCA part is OK). In my mind, I consider that module 
'done' in terms of thinking about/worrying about it down the road.

For the scanner, I plan to do one, but I may implement the design in a 
different way that is more suited to SMT. But yes, I have not abandoned it.


Running around in my head are over 8 new modules, NOT counting the VC Pulse 
Divider (also 'done'), the SEM VCF with output morphing (mostly 'done', some 
SMT conversion issues) and the Triple Pre-amp (a few SMT op amp issues to 
decide, nothing major). Now that January is over, I can have more time to 
ship-down the backlog and start thinking about all this new stuff.
