I agree with you on that not every module has to have everything and that is
exactly why it is good that we can have many proposed modules and vote about
it. And as I wrote earlier perhaps one day we can have both a high end and a
standard attenuator so we can all choose what suits us best. Making the
module wider and more complex probably makes it more expensive of course. So
lets just all sketch up as many possible versions and vote about it all and
then perhaps Doepfer could step in and give us estimated prices for a final
vote. The need seems to be here.
