MOTM

Why get a lag processor when you can use a filter? Why get a modular distortion unit when you can use guitar pedals? Why buy wave shapers when you can just mix an infinite amount of oscillator outputs together? Why oh why use 'this' instead of 'that'? I personally think it would be nice to have one module that fades between two sources by means of one (or two) control voltages across one or more outputs without the need for multiple separate VCA's and inverter modules. And the 700 does not achieve what I am seeking, it is a discreet switch, not a cross fader. I don't think this request is that far fetched considering Paul had mentioned in the past that he was going to build one. I imagine it must have been requested by a few people for him to even consider it.

I don't think questioning each other's desires will help Paul in his decision making as there will be at least one person who says, "I don't think you should release more filters" for each person who says they want another one. Same with sequencers, envelope generators, etc. Maybe a poll followed by a feature wishlist would be more useful?

Subject: Panning VCA's was: [motm] OK...so what WILL you buy assembled?

  
Just wondering...
What's so special about the Stereo panning VCA's?
When I want to achieve this, I use 2 VCA's, an inverter module (part of 
the MOTM-410 OMS oakley thingie) and a CV.
Or when just having fun, I use a MOTM-700...
Come to think of it, there are several ways to achieve this.

What feature makes this a much wanted module? What am I missing?
Why would I put it on my want list knowing Paul has "limited time" for 
releasing new stuff?

If it's just the matter of the 'amount of modules' used, expand your 
system. Paul would love to sell you some more VCA's/EG's or LFO's ;-)
