The main board and pot/switch board are both 203mm (wide) x 143mm 
(high). Or 8" x 5.6". It's not small.

I very much doubt it. It also runs from +/-15V so would need some 
considerable redesign to make it run from +/-12V. It's such a shame that 
Dieter went with +/-12V. I would have chosen +/-17.5V, or made the 
nominal signal level 4V pk-pk.

No plans. But never say never. Although I know what Behringer are 
planning and it is very unlikely that a simple analogue designer like me 
would be able to compete.

I'm going to be using Yarns with mine. But I do have some sort of plan 
to make my own multichannel midiCV convertor at some point. Mostly 
because I'd like to do one, and partly because I need to relearn how to 
program (or 'code' as they like to call it these days).

I should also add that it wasn't my original intention to make any sort 
of SEM clone. It just so happens that when you try and fit two VCOs, one 
SVF, two EGs and an LFO in a box, it does start to get that SEM vibe. 
It's not a SEM clone though. The VCOs, the EGs, the VCA, the mixer, the 
LFO, the sub-osc and many of the routing arrangements are very different.

I am planning to get some MU compatible panels made at some point. In 
theory two of these should fit side by side in a Box11 with space for 
something like a sequencer or midi-CV convertor.
