[sdiy] Definition of Modular (regarding FatMan)

[tomg]

Modular Synth = Individual Modules or Infinate I/O
Normalized Synth = Fatman or any other limited patch synth.

What modular means in everyday use is that you can ( right 
or wrong ) plug anything into anything. Serge is modular and 
2600 is not. Matrix's are not but they are so very very close.

The thought that I have when I think modular is individual
modules that can be changed or stacked in infinate piles.
Like Paul said.... but I think it's more accurate to look at it 
in I/O terms. If you can patch it up any way you like, I think
that's modular too. This logic gets a little shaky when you want 
to add just one more VCO. Easy  if you've got individual 
modules harder if not but I still think it's right.
