Doepfer

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:
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~concuss/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.
