Oh totally, I would have thought a 1U version with just carrier, modulator and unvoiced noise in, result out, and a slew knob and switch, would have been even more popular... but then again, I still can't believe the MCV-24 isn't more popular, so maybe I'm not very representative of what most people want.
Hell, I'd love to make a software programmer that edits MCV-24 patch files. That kind of thing would probably help people realise how much they should want it, hehe... :)
