I have in my hands today a Frac format Miniwave Expander from Dave
Hylander, about which I will report more fully in due time.  But YOW. 
It's a phenomenal bit of design, a stainless steel mounting bracket with
boards on each side.  You get 10 cv-selectable ROM slots, plus an
inverter.  

I've got a miniwave kit on order, and am still toying with a FPE design
for a 1U panel strictly to hold the Matthew Davidson's Scale Quantizer
ROM.  I'll post results if/when it works.

Sweet Jesus, yes.  It can do a dozen different things besides just being
an LFO/Envelope.  And yet, for all that, it's less than half of a 300
series Envelator (single AD/AR instead of dual, no crossfader, no
multiple).  

I can't wait for the Envelooper :)
