[sdiy] Forget modular then... what's a synthesizer ???

[harrybissell]

Fvck.   I just build them and play them.  ;^P

(is anyone buils one lately ???)

For an "analog synthesizer' I'd say its the ability to control
parameters with voltage.

I'm with the "patchable = modular" crowd.

ARP 2600 is a "modular synth" ... Minimoog is not.

Its the ability to change 'algorithms' in my opinion
( /ho ) that makes a synth 'modular'.  You can plug the
VCA before the VCF, or after... as you like.

You can have a 'modular' synthesizer on one board.

Since the esteemed Mr. Schreiber is already wearing
his flameproof undies (I was going to hold a match and
use natural gas, btw)... The MOTM would be the
perfect modular... having a standard form factor AND
the ability to configure the order of modules.

My new 'guitar synth' is a true modular as well... I'm
LOVING it.  Being able to slide a module in and out of a rack
for modification in minutes has saved me hours already !!!
