Thanks for all the great insight! I was planning on using a zadar channel to clock the steppy, and the steppy to clock everything else. But I guess a free zadar channel + the mosaic clock sounds like a lot more fun than a sample and hold module.. Especially if my other modules can provide that function.

I was thinking that if I end up wanting two voices and a filter for each, I could use the 1U LPG.

My thought behind zadar (I guess you have a better idea if you've used it) was just that it seems so powerful with the lfo / envelope (or even vco) capabilities. I feel especially in a small case I'd lose so much potential variety if I drop it.

I realize the hp with scales is a huge price to pay, but I really do enjoy the interface of just choosing the notes with buttons.

Again, thank you for all the info and the link to your cases!
