I am replying privately so paul does not get mad at me! Please don't forward this to anyone for that reason!  I too am building a large system i have bought 4 motm modules so far..but to save money without cheating on quality and performance I strongly urge you to check out the new www.paia.com  9700 series modules..dual vco's, dual vcf's  and dual vca's...listen to the audio samples of all of them..for the price you can't beat them..so for the price of one motm 300 vco kit you can buy 2 paia dual vco's and have 4 seperate vco's!  like wise with the rest of the vcf's and vca's...buy the motm modules that paia does not offer, like the 110's 101's ect that is what i am doing..you mention a theremin controller..again we are in luck at the paia site check out the fine theremax theremin kit i already have one it is more than a simple theremin..it has 1v/octave output jacks perfect for controlling analog! it sends not only pitch and volulme but also velocity and gate signals..I have built paia stuff several times in the past 20 years..the quality is superb and support is excellent..their tech Scott Lee is very friendly and helpfull with newbies..the new kits are just as high quality with the parts and instructions..but no frills, although wire is included u have to cut and strip your own and u supply  the solder the regular rosic core stuff sold at radio shack is fine..i don't know why Paul bothers with the fancy organic stuff..as an old tv repairman the rosin in modern stuff causes no problems and dont bother cleaning it off  if anything it protects against oxidation ect..finally trust me the new paia vco's are plenty temp stable enough..

Hi,

I've just ordered my first MOTM modules (110, 120, 300, 440). I've
been collecting analog synths for over 20 years, but this is the
first foray into modulars. I hope to put a HUGE system together over
the next year ie. MODzilla.

My question is what kind of systems do you good people have? I'm
having a hard time figuring out how many of each module I should
realistically shoot for. To start with I'm going for the Minimoog
equivalent in modules.

Also, are there any plans for an analog sequencer, joystick or
theremin type module? Or FX modules-phase, echo etc.?

Cheers,

Richard F.

PS. Any MOTM users in Vancouver, BC?
