I think the Wave Processor is a great idea, but agree with Mark that I
would like to see something a little more full featured.

How about a basic synth architecture thing, per string having your waveform
choices, modifiers (filters, delay lines) and then controllers, i.e.
envelope generator, envelope follower and LFO.

I'm picturing a faceplate like a old SH era synth, with roughly the density
of a Korg Electribe unit in terms of knobs and buttons.

I also would like to hear more from VG users about strengths and weaknesses
of the various VG's.
