OK, let's do this:

a) 1U wide
b) S&H functions only
c) 14-bit accuracy for VCO pitch accuracy

Minimum features

a) internal clock
b) +-/- edge switch select

Possible features:

a) Output correlate pot
b) internal clock is CV'd (input jack + possible attenuator pot)
c) CLK OUT jack
d) switch to select ASR mode or a 'Cycle' mode so Pulse #1> Out 1, Pulse #2>Out 
#2, etc. If there were say 4 outputs, *each* output is updated every 4th pulse.

OK, so what I need is a FPE panel design! I'll order one this week along with 
all my other FPE panels. I do like tick marks on the pots :) If you don't have 
FPE, it's a quick and easy PC download www.frontpanelexpress.com

After looking at these panels, I think I'd prefer to go 2U and try and  
implement independent S&H stages (normalized to perform ASR and maybe add a  switch 
for your interesting cycle feature) and have some VC Correlation to  at least 
some of the S&Hs.
 
I wouldn't mind losing the internal clock either.

The internal clock doesn't seem like it adds much value, and could be
a liability for people that are interested in adding multiple S&H's.

Not if there is a *clock out* jack :)

does the current FPD have a clock out jack?

my vote would be for an internal clock, too.

In most instances, users would probably want to synchronize events, in
which case they'll use an external clock, and the controls and output
jacks for the internal clocks wouldn't be used. Eliminating these
might free up space or $$ for more useful features.  

If users wanted each S&H to run independently, this would still be
easy with the clock inputs. 

So it seems like making this more modular (dropping the clock) might
free up space for more useful features.

Well, if Paul wanted to get really clever on the 102, when a CLKIN is
plugged in the Rate knob could be converted to a divide function on the
incoming clock, rather than a rate for the internal clock.
