Hi all,

I'm not so into the obscure stuff, so here are my rather more pedestrian 
suggestions (in order of interest to me):

(1) An additive oscillator: 32 partials, with a volume value for each.  I 
see it as only having a few principal controls: 5 leds (binary) to show the 
partial currently being edited and a volume control.  A 2 digit led display 
would be nice, but not necessary: the volume control could be an endless 
rotary.  It should have pitch and fm cv ins but what would really be amazing 
if it also had a partial select cv in together with a volume cv in (the cv 
would affect only the volume of the currently selected partial).  This could 
make for absolutely crazy timbral variations.   But even if used straight it 
could be a nice source of gritty digital waves (like in the OSCar).
(2) A DAHDSR envelope with adjustable shapes (preferably CV adjustable from 
log/exp to lin) for each slope.  This would allow envelopes to be produced 
from a moogy blip through a roland bonk to a korgy blatt :)
(3) More distortion modules.  There are 1000000s of different guitar pedals 
offering various forms of distortion.  I can't believe they're all the same 
:)
(4) A clocking module with a BPM counter on it (with 1 or 2 places after the 
decimal).  There should, at least, be a tap tempo button as well as a clock 
input (the counter would then show the BPM of the incoming clocks).  Not 
necessarily more complex than that, though.

For power reasons, I don't suppose it's possible to have vacuum tube-based 
modules, is it?

I have one more idea, but I need to think about it a bit more.
