Xpantastic!

Hi Tony,

Well, you could do alot if the software was rewritten. But to do that you would 
need development tools from that era,
like a 6809 Emulator/debug system and so forth.
To me it would be easier to adapt a modern proccessor to the Xpanders voice 
board and display I/O etc.
It blows my mind, how today you could put that entire digital board on a 
thumbnail.
Still not an easy job though :-)

Best Regards

Karl

Surely, this could be an option given to the user.
A certain key combination at power on would decide if the user wants CV inputs 
or Matrix Mod display. Additionally,
a dedicated button press would be needed to enable the Matrix Mod display, but 
this is easily done. There are many mod sources I don't use so I would gladly 
sacrifice on of those buttons.

I would easily give up the CV inputs for the Matrix Mod display
