If I weren't on some synth mailing lists I won't know Modcan existed. It is
the least visible modular synth. As fas as I know, it's never once shown up
or been mentioned in any magazine.

I came within a hair of going the Modcan route. MOTM didn't have many
modules at the time, but Modcan had a complete line. I wasn't thrilled about
banana plugs. But the straw that finally broke the camel's back as it were
was they group their 3x1 mixer on the same module that had a couple of lag
processors. The cost to get enough mixers, especially at the small size 3
inputs, was going to cost so much that I finally gave up. It's really bad
planning to put a function that a person needs a lot of on the same module
with one that a person only needs one of. Later on MOTM was coming out with
more modules, so Modcan's loss was MOTM's gain.
