I brought up the MS-20 external signal processor (envelope follower PLUS
pitch->CV converter) in response to the upcoming MOTM envelope follower
(which, Paul said, doesn't have a pitch->CV converter, but yeah, he did
make some sort of cryptic remark w/respect to the V/Hz->V/oct compatability
issue).  I have both an MS-20 and MS-03 and they are not at all the same
circuit (or at least they operate completely differently).  I agree that
the MS-03 is pretty crappy (I wouldn't bother to buy a clone of that), but
I've had considerable success (no, it won't track speedmetal guitar licks,
but it works great for adding synth to a pulsing bass guitar sound or a
droning violin/flute/voice or for "Baba O'Riley"-type "random arpegiation"
from processing guitar chords) with the MS-20 external signal processor and
would love to have one in a standalone box.  Perhaps I should just do it
myself, since it's a pretty simple circuit ... I'll just need to build a
V/Hz->V/oct converter into it ...
