Our problem is not the number of suggested modules (currently we have more
than 50 of these, suggested by this group or from customers directly) but to
find out which of the suggested modules should be developed and
manufactured. Both technical and economical have to be considered before we
start a new module: we have to be able to develop such a module basically
and within a limited development time (e.g. one customer actually suggested
e.g. a 16 voice polyphonic, polytimbral fully voltage controlled digital
synthesizer module - that's totally beyond our possibilities), and there
have to be sufficient serious inquiries. The polls in this forum are very
helpful tools to find this out. The development time varies from a few hours
(e.g. for a very simple module like an attenuator or multiple or simpla
amplifier) to a couple of months or even years for very complex designs
(e.g. like the A-107 morphing filter). Usually we can manage about 4-6
modules per year.

The suggested arpeggiator module seems to be within our possibilities and we
could offer it provided that there are sufficient inquiries.
