Superb declaration. I just hope some of these new modules are 21st century oriented and stay away from Cold War silicon. Something hopefully that can have CV over my Facebook parameters or perhaps a Dick Cheney module that drones on yet never breathes (c. 17th century Absolutist mojo). Shallow attempt at humor. Not meant to offend. This is great news Grant. More news on what they are is patiently awaited. 
Best,
Bill

I just read this, catching up on some back emails, what with having a
new-ish day gig which takes a lot of time and does not have internet
access, I'm a bit behind.

I'm very pleased to read about it!  I like the frac-rack size and
format best of all of what's out there, I like that it imposes a
minimum size on module faceplates - I recently bought a few Doepfer
modules, because I wanted to try out the ribbon controller they do,
it's all nice stuff sonically, but the tiny size I find to be a bit
annoying.  that's just my preference, of course.

I have to admit that my preference is for the blue faceplates, I have
added a few CGS and Oakley modules to my setup, and I've had the
Schaeffer panels made up in blue, I think it looks very nice!
Obviously if they are to be made only in black, I'll be happy with
that, but I will register that I would happily pay a premium for blue
plates.

I'm curious to see what is coming out.  The neural pulser module on
musicsynthesizer.com always looked like an interesting piece, I wonder
if that's going to be one of them.

Best wishes to you all.
