I think the three fixed D/A ladders are well worth having. They only
take three jacks on the panel. I use them a lot. It is also worthwhile
to add the two 'disable' switches for bits 4 and 5, so you can vary the
range of these outputs. Some people like the 4-input mixer with pots on
bits 0-3 and the mix output. I find I don't use that as much, partly
because I like having at least 32 levels in the output (which requires
bit 4, i.e. a fifth pot for the mixer).
I don't have Ken's diatonic converters, but I think they would be a nice
addition. If I were to do it over again, I think I would make separate
diatonic converters that had all the inputs available on panel jacks,
and also make the 6 bits out of the Infinite Melody available on the
panel (possibly with normalized connections to the diatonic converter(s)
inputs. That way I could mix up any combination of outputs using an
external CV mixer.
