SOLICITING ADVICE!! GIVE US YOUR OPINION!! TELL US WHAT TO DO!!
-yep, I truly AM asking you, the reader, to give me-the humble writer--your opinion on what YOU want to see from NVD in the future.

In the past (one month ago) I solicited advice on  a forum for the same reason:

After reading over 75 posts, a consensus arose and we decided that this year's "Semi-Commercial Product Run" from NVD would consist of 3 types of devices:
1.  Pedals : for guitar, vocals, bass, etc.  We've already promoted, released, and sold out (of the first 50) of "The Robot Assassin" (see photo below in last week's blog)

2. Modular Synth Modules : the overwhelming majority of suggestions was for Eurorack format, but if we make any PCB/Kits to sell, I plan to follow Barton Musical Circuits (www.bartonmusicalcircuits.com/‎) lead and make sure that MOTM and others can use the PCB for their formats as well

3. Stand Alone Synths : We've already done a run of the AEye (and sold almost all of them) and have another (hint hint) we'll be unveiling early next week.

However, now that we've decided on what TYPES of devices to create, we need to focus on a SMALL NUMBER of each..perhaps four (4) more of each of the three (3) categories for a total of five (5) of each.

**EDIT : Thus far we've gotten some notable suggestions:
       for Category 3 : a portable semimodular that could be used by itself or easily plugged into a modular
       system,
       for Category 1 : an Uber-Fuzz pedal combining many of the most popular fuzz pedal sounds/effects in
       one, and just as interesting- a sampler/looper to be controlled via a wah-type pedal
       for Category 2:  one idea was to make functional and inexpensive modules like tube amp/gain, another
      was to create a "Fibonacci Sequencer"

GIVE US YOUR IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS AND IF WE USE THEM-THE PROTOTYPE WILL BE SHIPPED TO YOU FOR FREE!!

-simply email me  with your ideas-include pictures and examples if you can.  Sometimes it is hard for me to understand your idea without illustration.  Not because anyone in particular is a poor communicator, but because ideas and the like are extremely difficult to translate into terminology successfully.
