This is very interesting! -- I have been waiting for the development
of the Steckbox for a long time.  The crucial and ingenious part is
the selection of different pins to make/break/change connections. 
I'll be interested to see if this leads to some collaboration
(although Dieter has said in the past that collaboration would be over
the top, given the simplicity of the module).  I have to say that I
would probably have to go for the matrix as a separate table-top unit,
rather than a mountable module, simply because I can't spare the
space, and it seems easier to 'play' in a horizontal position.

Anyway, I hope that Doepfer's negotiations with SchneidersBuero will
mean that the unit will appear sooner rather than later!

peace,
Ernst
