JH and I have been discussing stuff like this for over 1 year. It appears 
"from nowhere" to you, but in many cases the 'behind the scenes' work is 6 
months old.<<

Well sometimes perception and reality are different.  From the time questions 
were asked of the list, what features the Phaser should have, to the time one 
was working seemed to be only a few weeks.

>>The vocoder, as stated several times in the past is NOT A MOTM PRODUCT.<<

I know that.  I assumed any Synth Tech product would delay MOTM products 
since they both involve you in the process.  I'm glad that is not the case.

>>I see no reason to rush stuff out for the sake of puffing up the catalog.<<

I wasn't asking for rushing anything.  Just not any additional delays is all. 
 If the Mixer actually makes it out by years end, it will be about 9 months 
late from the estimate I was given before placing my first MOTM order.  I 
just would hate to see that delay increased.

>>Lastly, most people think *all* modules are critical.<<

The Mixer is critcal.  It's the one missing module that criples the MOTM 
synth and limits the complexity of patches.  In the meantime, filters can be 
used as audio mixers, but that is less than ideal.

My guess is he is refering to Synthesizers.com and Doepfer.  Maybe Paia.
