I think some of the 8pot/banana modules were advertised in
Synapse from 1977, so that ties in.

My 1979 catalogue has the following modules marked as "new":

Dual Comparator, Res EQ, Extended Preamp, PEF, ACPR, ADSR
and scaling buffer. (Pomona molded cables were also marked
as new.)

All the other modules listed above were also in the catalogue,
but not marked new.

Neither of these made it into the 1979 catalogue. The WAD was in
the 1982 catalogue and the frequency shifter made it into the 1983
catalogue. I think Serge had been working on a delay module earlier
- it was mentioned in an interview.
