Well ... I think the picture that Dave posted of the MOTM-format Wogglebug
is an excellent example of why the MOTM form *won't* work so well for Wiard
modules.  It would be sort of like (to use an automotive metaphor) trying
to put the "guts" of a Jaguar into a Lambroghini body (or vice-versa ...
both are "high performance" but perform in entirely different ways,
requiring radically different "packaging").  The Miniwave works in MOTM
form, but that's because the Miniwave is only a fraction (no VCO, EG, or
VCA) of the full Waveform City Wiard module, so there are considerably
fewer knobs and jacks.

And where would all the LED's go?  ;^)

P.S. I'll be playing Wiard tonight with Mushroom at the Hotel Utah in San
Francisco (10.30PM approx), in case anyone in the Bay Area wants to
see/hear one in action ...
