Appreciate the shoutouts! 😀
Once again, it was wonderful to see everyone in person.
What an exciting time to be into AE!

Those new small modules seems really nice and useful for channel eq and effects...

Those new small modules seems really nice and useful for channel eq and effects... Ooooh, didnt think of that yet, but now you said it.. Might be a cool way to do 'multiband' stuff. A 1/3 block that is a simple HPF (maybe even just non-resonant), another block thats a band, another block that is a low pass.. And just one knob to set the frequency. Then you could 'split' your signal in multibands there, and mix it again later down the line. Hmmm, interesting idea. If it would have to fit in 1/3 space it would have to be a 'no-frills' filter, so no CV, no resonance, just a functional split. |

That's a lot more mini-modules than I expected! And certainly a lot for someone who's supposed to be taking a break from new module designs  What would be nice is a 1/3 version of the ORx2 module, this could be a single OR rather than the dual one to save space. I'd gladly replace my 1U LOGIC with micro-LOGIC, micro-OR and probability gate, that's be a super powerful use of a 1U space! |

The mini modules are looking as though they will solve my dilemma of what exactly can go in my 1x16 rack to make a percussion synth,  |

I'd gladly replace my 1U LOGIC with micro-LOGIC, micro-OR and probability gate, that's be a super powerful use of a 1U space! If you're happy soldering, I have a couple of generic 1/3 modules ready to go which are just carriers for chips (14 or 16 pin). This way you would be able to use all the gates in a '74-series' logic chip (e.g. 74xx32 for the quad-OR; 74xx86 for a quad X-OR; etc.). Because 74-series chips largely use the same power connections, this opens up many possibilities I expect to make these available as kits, so they'll be pretty cheap  |

Maybe it would be cool to have a small 1/3 module with a dedicated mini-board where you can plug 74's in and out! |

I appreciate the plans and modules (announced and yet to be fully anmounced) for the micros. It seems like these will take advantage of dead space that may exist for some full size modules to shrink. I’m with it so long as just as many ins and outs will exist, and that the process for going micro will not add cost. For example if I want 2 or 3 micro of the same type to make a full size, why not just make an updated full size? I do understand the flexibility and the quick plug aspects are part of the consideration too. I am particularly excited for the drum modules coming from Wonky, drums are a gap and I’m glad there is work in that area. And I’m excited about some things that have not previously existed (like probability) and so on. Are there plans to make full size versions of some of these modules that are bringing in new capabilities (probability, drums, etc) or they’ll only be available in micro?

Personally, I could see that it might be a 'future thing' that certain combinations of modules be available as a single 'full size' module; drums might be an example of that (but no promises!) There is already the Modulators module which could be seen as such a thing already existing  |

Wow! These 1/2 and 1/3 modules are going to be of great advantage even for large systems. Just the other day I was thinking of replacing my old, original LFO modules for the new MODULATORS which seems to have a "similar" layout, although the modulettes (Is that what we're going to call them?) are fixed.

In a similar vein, I replaced my LFO module for the 2LFO module in my system. The Modulators I have bought and highly recomend, lot of "power" in the little beastie! |
