You have to remember that a small production run will always cost a manufacturer lots of money, which the customers have to pay in the end.
But what would you all think about a higher priced module line (A-200 for example) with added functions? What about modules like a new discrete-circuit hi-end VCO with more than two CV inputs, please! ; or a filterbank with separate outs; ringmod45´s proposal for the "Variable Waveform Sync LFO"?

Yes, that´s a great idea if they decide not to produce it. This shouldn´t be too difficult to build it in my eyes. Compare it with synth.com´s PC-joystick-to-CV adapter [ http://www.synthesizers.com/q142.html  look at the bottom of the page], that´s only some cables attached to a D-Sub (or was it Sub-D?) connector. Connect the cables to a pedal interface - the A-177 would do fine - and have fun. Just imagine two joysticks to the left and right of your touchkeyboard, a ribbbon controller in front of it... aaamaaazing control possibilities!! ;-) 
The only problem might be to purchase a single N64-controller connector... Well, I might dismantle my flatmate´s N64... ;-)  ...damn, he´s only got a Playstation, but that´s a nice controller,too!

best,
Paul (another wack keyboarder)
