SynthModules

I think there might be two levels of buyer - one that programs and 
one that doesn't.  Kinda like two levels of synth buyer: one that 
progams and one that uses presets.  The more 'preset' PSIM code 
available, the more attractive it could be.  But I'm notoriously bad 
at predicting the future: witness the fact that I'm not filthy rich 
from stock trading, for e.g.

The one geek element that might be a barrier to the non-geek crowd 
is the connection to the computer.  Some might look at that and run 
away screaming.  Too bad for them!  I lurk on AH and the recent 
tirades against computers seems pretty limiting to me.

One particularly intriguing aspect of the PSIM is the CV-to-MIDI 
conversion: how about syncing your MIDI gear to a Balcet BZ?  Or an 
MOTM-380?  Or a CGS Infinite Melody controlling my modded FatMan?  

Oops, sorry, I'm drooling again.  Damn.  SHorted tHE keYBoaD tHIs 
timE.
