I like to create patterns that have nothing to do with standard sequencing or keyboard playing - so keep that in mind with this module idea - it is nice to have modulation sources that are meant to be controlled in real time as opposed to setting them and leaving the patch... so on that note... I'd love to see a module that could take an incoming signal and "skip" a manually set number of peaks in order to derive new patterns or waveforms. I'll explain with an example... let's say you took an LFO with a rectangular or pulse waveform and wanted to trigger an envelope with it but skip every 3rd pulse. You'd be able to set the module to somehow derive an irregular waveform from the regular pulse of the input... and this could be manually set for however many peaks you'd like to "skip". .. and this could function with LFO rates or audio rates to process CV or audio. I don't know how this would technically work, but I hope the idea makes sense. I'd imagine you could use a couple modules to come close to this idea but wouldn't it have to be a digital control in order to exactly specify the number of "skips" and then how could the waveform be smoothed? some type of slewing? hmmm.. would it be something like an envelope follower into a digital device that reads the frequency and then applies a slew to the input according to the manually set number of "skips"???
