So... after reading this I started to dream up a synth that was 
intended for Multi-trig mode.  Most of my kits are sets of single 
synths, so I had to start thinking about the different multi trig 
modes.  And I started to get excited about setting up a perverse 
Yamaha SY-series vector synthesis kit, with two FM synths with their 
volumes mapped reciprocally on the left/right joystick motion, and 
two other synths (DigiPro--> Korg Wavestation!) on the vertical.  You 
could really make a mind-blowing vector synth on the monomachine... 
and then, using a high BPM tempo, and sequence start mode to trigger 
96 recorded steps in the vector motion profile, you could record the 
joystick vector motions and ... DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!

So... I'm scrapping the plan...  If you could record the joystick 
(minus pitch) you could (justifiably) claim that the Monomachine has 
6 synths:
i)   Superwave pro
ii)  SID
iii) DigiPRO
iv)  FM+
v)   VO
and... 
vi)  Vektor_machine!

I know... I have to move beyond this gripe... I'm working on it.  But 
being able to say that your synth is more flexible than a Korg 
wavestation, a Prophet VS, and a Yamaha SY with just one minor, non-
invasive OS tweak would is something worth considering.
