MOTM

Paul,
 Here's a longshot idea for you..  (as if MOTM wasn't enough "work" 
for you)
ever consider a 3 or so rack space (or table top) monophonic synth 
unit?  Kinda like a pulse (that's the mono Waldorf thing right?)  
Just a MIDI in and thru and Cv/gate in's as well of course..  a 
SynthTech non modular synth.  Studio grade, to go along with the 
Vocoder (VOTM?)and DoMoas systems.
   Allright, Yeah. yeah this can be done with modules so why don't 
the people just go out and buy modules!?  I don't know why they 
don't, I did, but I bet it would be a seller if it was priced right 
and advertised right.  We all know the mystique MOTM has as being the 
ultimate.  I would guess that some people are just on the market 
for "One more voice" and not ready to delve into a whole Modular 
system.
Perhaps a PCB based kit ala the evenfall MiniModular, but not 
patchable.  dual osc, dual filters one based on the 440 one a 
var.state ala the 420, two or so simple LFo's (syncable) and an env 
or two.. maybe a ring mod.  Or make it totally unique.  As the 777 
has tons of FM stuff going on which gives it a unique voice, you 
could make this thing different somehow.  Maybe one osc, two 120's 
five LFO's-- Pitch, 120#1 cross, 120#2 cross, fliter1 and filter2.   
Add two filters, ADSR and VCA of course as well...?   Weird is cool.
   maybe this is just nonsense, maybe I just love checking out new 
gear, maybe we don't need yet another monophonic single voice synth, 
who knows.  But i got the idea when I was reading the old posts about 
Paul's original idea of putting a MooG system 35 on a circut board.
I just thought it was a cool idea for us to toss around..  (better 
than steak and veggie food, even better than DoctorPepper!!! : )

Or a patchable semi-normalized unit like the Fenix.  Sort of a scaled down 
Arp 2600 for the masses.  Could use a lot of the new one-space mini-module 
circuit boards.

Just another thought!

I've asked Paul before if he'd consider doing a sort of MS10 type patchable
monosynth. I'd love to be able to replace my MS10 for live use with a
Synthtech equivalent. I think the cost of having a keyboard on it was his
main concern. Am I right Paul?
