Modular Synth Panels

Why not build two single WoggleBugs and make child tones with an 
external XOR module.  The CGS Quad Logic Gate with a CD4077 XNOR makes a 
great ring modulator, and also serves as a pulse inverter with one input.

As for the MOTM-320 lacking  attenuator for shape, check out the 
MOTM-320R panel:
