One thing I like about using Korg MS-series gear is that all the triggers
are S-trig, which means that any standard footswitch that closes the
circuit between the two conductors can be used to trigger envelopes, step
the sequencer, etc.  It would be nice for a MOTM module incorporating
external signal processing features to include an S-trig -> gate/trigger
converter.  I like playing synth with my feet!

I'll definitely agree!  A preamp (as Paul already indicted) would be pretty
essential, since most of the MOTM processing modules do not work well with
guitar- (or Rhodes/Clavinet type keyboard-) or microphone-level signals.
And I'd love to see a pitch->voltage converter that works as well as the
MS-20; I've become quite impressed with that unit's tracking for bass,
guitar (including playing chords to get that "Baba O'Riley" arpegiated
effect), violin, etc.
