Great news that the serge/cgs/doepfer vcs is coming through.
 I'm using lots of DUSG's since long and have 2 front panel tips:
 -groups switches and led to gain space for extra (feedback ) knob
 or ergonomics.
 -UP/DOWN pots next to each other and both cv pots next to each other too.
 Years ago we exchanged mails about a second board of the doepfer
 diy synth featuring this module (and a noise generator).
 I think a diy synth board packed with vcs would be ideal!! (and
 close to the serge diy idea)
 Or a West coast inspired pcb with lpg, random, wave shaper,
 envelop follower and a couple of vcs
 Curious to hear how wider availability (because of lower price)
 of this multi function module will sound!
 Best, Floris Vanhoof
