custom modules

Has anyone built any interesting custom modules to use with your VGer or other Moog gear?

I built a PAiA Theremax, and use it to control all kinds of CV's, mostly the filter cutoff. Tons of fun!
I built that in an effort to teach myself some electronics (fun to build, but I didn't really learn enough to design my own circuit), because I have some ideas for small add-on boxes for the Voyager, like transient generators, envelope followers, maybe a little photoresistor box that you could plug in to any CV-in, etc. I think you could come up with all kinds of interesting ideas. There's a lot to explore! One of the things I want most would be an arpeggiator box that hooks up to the Voyager's MIDI OUT and then to all the appropriate CV-ins and creates arpeggios based on whatever chord you're playing on the V'ger. I also want a simple 8-step 2-channel sequencer. (Are you listening, Dr. Moog? :wink: )

Well, I've constructed what I call a semi-modular system based on some standard rack-mount components. I posted the PDF file on the Yahoo MMV Users Group website:
