I was thinking it could be a set of faders that could be do either CV/midi control or audio, but now that you mention it, it would be very cool to be a built in mixer too, and was linkable inside the programmer, great freakin idea, Dub.

The thing is - people have SO many cool ideas for the Combinator 2, many different possible directions... Propellerheads might be having the problem of facing a difficult decision of where to take it.

Good point. Additionally, the Props tend to take the simpler approach and don't tend to add many bonus features. So if you want to make a suggestion that has a chance of happening, remove 9/10 of the ideas you have and that's more likely what the Props would do!
Indeed - it's generally been a good design philosophy, and it probably will be good for the next Combinator too. But there are times when it backfires, the MIDI out device with just 1 CC knob for example. It's as if they got scared after making Kong too complex!
Of course I have my own vague dream for the next Combinator: something semi-modular, with 128 "slots" for knobs, faders, buttons, XY pads and whatever more, and give each device 128 destination + scale by slots. This is in fact rather modest, because if you cut that by 9/10 you basically end up with the current combinator
