Can't you just add a LED next to the jack?  *grin*

YES.  I think we should be thinking about several different simple designs
and combinations of features, with an eye to using them together to
achieve more complicated effects.

I like Larry's "Time/Level" idea - but if you want voltage control two
stages will not fit in a 1U module.  Here is a front panel for a 2U
three-stage VC time/level module: (knobs in caps, jacks in lowercase)
TIME 1		LEVEL 1		LEVEL pots run -5 .. +5
TIME 2		LEVEL 2
TIME 3		LEVEL 3
t1 cv	l1 cv	trig	gate
t2 cv	l2 cv	end	gate thru
t3 cv	l3 cv	+out	-out
You're gonna smack me for this but - put a detent at the top of the TIME 2
pot.  Then when you click it past 10 into the detent, stage 2 lasts as
long as the gate signal.

Okay, maybe that's a little baroque and we might as well do the uP type
thing.  But as long as everybody else is making stuff up I might as well
join in :)

peace,
