Only to refer to the optimized size of the matrix, the current poll 
shows that this module is at least somewhat desirable. I guess a new 
poll wouldn't do much good in this respect, its a better question 
for beta testers and r&d (i.e. cost vs. features). People being 
polled might get carried away, and bigger matrices = tremendous cost.

I just went back and re-read the poll...I had forgotten about the 
features you requested...yes that could be very cool. I think the 
price ceiling for a single module (at least in the US) cannot top 
more than $350 USD unless it was extremely complex, say the proposed 
single voice module a la Ob SEM, and of course more expensive 
modules sell less. The A-107 sales have not been dissapointing (from 
my view) but then again it offers a lot of functions for the price, 
and unique morphing. But also anything that effects audio in such an 
obvious way sells the most from my perspective... 

The other thing to consider is the time spent developing this 
module, will it take away from R&D time for the BBD-delay (this one 
is at the top of my list), TKB (I hear delivery requests almost 
everyday) and other unique modules.

Thanks, Shawn Cleary
