hi group,

given that apple have demonstrated how good customers are at working out what bizarre features they'd like for their toys, given the chance to develop them themselves, i wonder if there would be interest among doepfer users in a sort of app development kit.

by this i mean a module containing a microprocessor, a usb interface for programming and a bunch of i/o sockets, with perhaps midi connectors on the serial pins. possibly a couple of da converters for the pwm outputs, a couple of led's maybe. so a bit more than an arduino et al, with none of the hassle of mounting it, drilling holes for the sockets etc.

programming language would depend on the chip used, but that's hardly going to be a problem, even for hobbyists like me.

and then sit back and wait.

(tap tempo clock, midi sequence recorder, fibonacci clock divider, trigger ouzi's, ifs ands and ors galore, petulant gate sequencer, digital synth voice, random this, fuzzy that...)

i'd be more than happy to help with the proof of concept prototype :)
