This module keeps coming up!  I'll have to make sure I include it in 
my base system.

I looked at the Modcan system.  However, it seemed a bit too 
expensive to start with.  But perhaps later I can gradually add some 
of their modules.

A must have for vocoding?  Please explain.  I'm not quite clear why.

I really don't do much external input processing.  I have probably at 
least seven synths that process audio input and I can't say that I've 
done that more than twice.  Not that its a bad idea, I just tend to 
spend more time doing other stuff.  But since its come up twice 
already in this forum, perhaps I'll consider getting back to doing 
more of it.

I am indeed eyeing the ribbon controller as well.  Could be loads of 
fun to use.  The subharmonic generator will likely be in a later 
phase.  I am yet undecided on the multi filter.  Next weekend should 
be the big "sit down with a cup of coffee and complete the module 
spreadsheet" day.
