Hello Robert, and welcome!
A 410 is a must-have first module. It has 3 formant-tuned filters
driven by two LFOs. Really complex phaser-like effects and round
fat tone.
I really love the 420. It has a very distinctive voice, low pass,
band pass, and high pass mode. That would be my second choice, but
note that it is a 2-pole filter!
The next thing I would get is the 440. 4-pole but not moog-
sounding. It, too, has a unique voice plus voltage control of
resonance!
From there, the sky's the limit.
