 Lets think here..  A pedal is basically for controlling a parameter(s) of 
the synth with your foot.  Why do we need gate or trig at all?  Perhaps for 
using a pedal as a separate controller, but 99% of the time, a pedal will be 
used for simply turninig knobs with your feet. 99%!!!!  Having it be a dual 
would be great too..    
Wouldn't you guys rather have access to two foot pedals with one module?  
Think about playing a keyboard (gasp!) and using your feet to sweep some 
parameters, like pedals are supposed to do........    Design A!!!!
Perhaps you could have a compromise.  Have one pedal as an expression pedal, 
and the other as a sustain/switch/trig/gate kind of interface..  
   Dual is great for more control.    Trigs, LED's, CV mixes..  blah blah..  
KISP!  (keep it simple Paul)
Not that I want boring plain modules, but I think the basic dual pedal 
functionality outweighs having a gate or CV mix out....

my opinion ...

It also seemed to me that the A module would be easily able to interface
an x-y joystick.

I got plans for the joystick interface as well. Yes, the circuit is about
60% the same.

Are there any plans for a footSWITCH interface?  In other words, one 
that would output a gate (and possibly trigger) when a footswitch 
plugged into it is depressed (this is what I was inquiring about in 
yesterday's email that was intended for the list but not sent to 
it).  This would also work as a S-trig to V-trig converter, if anyone 
is using their Moog as a keyboard controller.
