Thanks for giving a clearer picture of what lies in store for the 
1200 series. of modules.

Seems like a logical improvement.  And goes well with the 1209 and 
1211 modules, as you indicated.  Not just a replacement for the dual 
joystick, but a total functionality upgrade (though perhaps not as 
cool looking:).

I can hear Konkuro cheering already...personally I was sort of 
hoping for a continuation of the blue color scheme of the 300 
series, but this is simpler and non-controversial, and I'm sure 
you've answered enough aesthetics questions for one lifetime:).

hmmm...two joysticks and one each of the other two would make a 
pretty funky desktop-based controller...

Nice.  I've been looking at all the different systems lately, and 
been wondering why something like this isn't on the market.

Built in two-way vector mixing via LFO?  Somehow I think you'll come 
up with something much cooler than I can...

> All modules should be under $200.

:)  That should just about end people on synth-forums whining that 
Wiard modules are overpriced.

Peake, I've got an old-fashioned fountain pen you can borrow...:)
