200e

Let me play devil's advocate for a minute. Much as I would love to see  
an 208 reissue or reinterpretation, couldn't similar functionality be  
had in similar space with existing 200e modules? It seems to me that  
the combo of a 261e, 282e, 292e and the new 206e fits in the same  
space as the Easel, and generates a similar sonic palette, and  
provides presets, too, albeit ones that you can't fondle.

There are a handful of important things missing when trying to  
recreate the 208 in the same panel space: random voltages, sequencer /  
pulser, spring reverb, envelope detector, and doubtless some things  
I'm forgetting.

What are the reasons people would like to see a 208e? What are the  
features of the original 208 that would make you want a reissue?

For me, they include:
  - immediate control of a nice little voice architecture
  - sliders provide fast manipulation of multiple parameters  
simultaneously
  - uncorrelated random outputs a really nice touch
