The first module we'd like to release is called Sololoquy. It's a 10HP programmable clickless VC sequential switch with a handful of unique features. It has 4 main inputs and 2 outputs as well as a CV and CLK input. It can be programmed to work as a mixer or exclusive solo'er/muter. The path is DC-coupled with extremely low offset error & drift. The audio performance is high fidelity. The buttons are high-life (1M cycles) illuminated tact pushbuttons with fast response. They can be played quite nicely.
Sololoquy inputs can be gated by an incoming CLK signal, which is passed by the CLK button. Inputs can also be selected or sequenced using the CV input or with a CLK signal edge.
Buttons action and polarity is programmed by holding the corresponding toggle down and pressing the button you wish to program.
All alternate functions are accessed by holding both toggle switches down and selecting the corresponding button (alt. functions indicated by the graphics). Alternate functions are:
Button 1: switch between Mix and Solo modes
Button 2: enable/disable CV input
Button 3: enable/disable sync
Button 4: enable/disable MIDI sync
CLK button: enable/disable CLK edge sequencing.
Here's a demo vid of the prototype:

Additional features:
MIDI control, sync-ability across multiple Sololoquys, sequence start, stop, sequence pattern programming, auto calibration of the CV input so it can work with many different voltage sources, auto save.
Release Date: In the next few months
A little about us: Our duo consists of an electrical and software engineer, though we both wear many different embroidered bathrobes throughout the design process. We are rabidly dedicated to the reliability, performance, and ergonomics of the stuff we design and build.
Finally a switch for audio too!
