i would like to request, pretty please (!), that you have at least 2  
channels of:

- CV (selectable V/Oct or Hz/Volt)
- Gate (selectable Gate, Gate +15v, S-Trig, S-Trig+15v)
- Aux

so that's 6 outputs total

i mean, basically i am hoping you would make it identical to the  
options available on the Kenton... every other analog-style sequencer  
that i've tried (Doepfer, Frostwave, Analogue Solutions) has fallen  
short in this regard -- i could never use any of them with all of my  
synths, and i'm not talking about obscure synths, but fairly common  
1s like Korg MS-20, Roland Sys100

so this extra card... the idea is that it would have 16-24 analog  
triggers?

well, i like the idea, and would buy it... but it does seem very  
niche. what i think would make it a lot more versatile and useful, is  
if these outputs could all be configurable, like the Aux channels on  
a Kenton.... so if you wanted to use them all to trigger drums, you  
can, but you also have the option to use them for additional CVs

i sold my P3 because of the lack of native CV/gate... i only have 1  
Kenton Pro-2000, and i would find myself always having to choose  
whether to use it for a CV/Gate from the computer/DAW, or from the  
P3... plus, the rewiring of Midi cables always seemed like a chore  
and as a result the P3 didn't get used as much as it should've......  
of course,  i could've got another Pro2000, or maybe some kind of  
Midi-Merge box (yuck), but these just didn't seem like good  
options.... so i am really hoping that the Cirklon nails it on the  
native CV/Gate side of things..... i think that it would be a smart  
move considering the growing modular market

thx

now that would be something! yes, a very good idea

personally if I could use the sequence to sequence 8 or 16 different 
destinations on my modular I'd be very excited
