While I was never really interested in the 9700 as a "way to go" (I was well 
into MOTM by the time it was shipping), but like you I was confounded by the 
"combined features in the modules." Suppose you wanted to add additional EGs 
and LFOs, the last catalog I saw only had the three (?) combined modules.

BTW, MOTM needs a 1U VCA too.

This idea definitely has its merits, but I think, like Nate said, you might 
want to seperate out the envelope followers from the preamps. But I 
absolutely agree with you about envelope followers having a gate output (and 
trigger, if needed). I'd also like to have separate RISE and FALL times (a 
built in lag processing circuit -- yes, I got that from the way I use my 
Serge DSG) so that the follower CV output could have some moderate (not VC) 
amount of processing without using up an 820. I rarely use a followers output 
without some sort of lag processing.
