To my experience granular synthesis is something, which is mostly used
for mulitvoiced sounds (pad sounds). So I do not think, that monophonic
module will have _that_ big appeal also to the advanced users.

Also a module which is capable for karplus&strong (e.a.) can be used for
basic granular stuff. Such a module does short delays of adjustable size
and is tunable. Already two of these modules can give nice results: one
for the sample loop, the other adds a short delay, which places the
delay in the loop point of the original signal. I did similar stuff with
two Korg SDD-3000.

I think, this is a field, where another company should/could jump in.
When we have AS and Doepfer, why shouldn't be there another company who
produces digital modules compatible to the doepfer/AS
