Automatonism being GNU/GPL means contacting the original dev is polite it's not strictly necessary as long as you're releasing your system under the GPL as well, Though I think it'd be extra cool to have them on board! I'm super new to PD, but really keen on learning it thoroughly and these modular systems make it easily approachable to newbies. I'd be more than happy to help with things like module documentation and sorting out some of the internal structure so it's easier for other strangers and newbs to parse through in the future. Thanks for all the good work you're doing!

This system is phenomenal! Do you have any interest in putting it up on a Git repository for easier collaboration? I have a specific interest in getting the modules to work plug and play style with Automatonism (https://www.automatonism.com/the-software). Making a system work kind of like how VCV rack has gone sounds like a dream!
