Christ on crutches... Definitely the best workmanship I've ever seen in a modular synth. Just the knobs make me quiver. THE KNOBS!

(too bad about the sound clips.)

Anyone else read that as "urogenital diaphragm?" ;^)

I also read "urogenital diaphragm" and i thought it was a synth/urinal that is operated by peeing on its the random doodads to get that sound.

In a similar vein (modular synth makers flying completely off the handle designwise), I dug up info on a pal of Skot's, who seems to also be in the business of making modular synth gear that hurts your eyes:

looks wondrous, sounds like a browser slamming straight into a cinder-block bandwidth limit at high speed - disappointingly silent.
