Doepfer

The following Doepfer_a100 poll is now closed.  Here are the 
final results: 


POLL QUESTION: Would you like Doepfer to release the 
module described below?
I suggested the module idea to Dieter 
Doepfer and he suggested I make a poll to 
see what the community thinks. This poll 
might result in a new module!

A voltage controlled patch matrix, 12x12 or 
larger, for routing signals without patch 
cables and a preset save option.

The general idea would be similar to this 
product by Analogue Solutions:

concussor/pp.htm

But the Doepfer module would be smaller, 
more simple and less expensive, and built 
specifically to fit into the Doepfer framework.

A number of modules would have their in- 
and outputs connected to the
matrix's in- and outputs, and connections 
would be made internally without
the need for patch cords being moved. It 
would be really interesting when one could 
save the matrix settings and recall them, 
instantly switching from one complex patch 
to another one. "Scrolling" through these 
presets could be voltage controlled by 
LFO's, sequencers, MIDI>CV, a joystick, etc. 
Especially for live use I think this would 
increase the possibilities of the A-100 
immensely, as patch changes will become 
instantaneous. It would also have great 
waveshaping possibilities (audio rate patch 
switching?)
If one had two or more of these vc audio 
routers, different parts of the signal path 
could be altered at different speeds by 
voltage control.

So the module might have 12 inputs and 12 
outputs (or 16, 24, ...) for
signals and one or more cv inputs.
