Hi John,

I'd be very interested in hearing the effect of the Waveform Processor
on a single sawtooth input. Thanks!

I know this is a tall order, trying to cram a synth into such a small
space. I did look at the Analogue Solutions MiniModular stuff online,
and it is still a contender, but the case itself is too deep for my
application (strange too...I wonder how deep the AS modules actually
are...I'll have to email them).

I've been thinking of a way to have a case that would hold my
Frostwave fatController in the lid as well, giving me the option of
creating some subtle textures via CV.

Best, Jamie.
