Subject: Re: worth replacing a Mini-Moog??

My interpretation of this thread is that some people really love
synths with well-designed and intuitive user interfaces, like many
vintage monosynths.

Perhaps I am not alone in feeling more could be done to make MOTM
modulars respond to the musician the way a Micro or Minimoog does.
It's the logical layout, with varied knob sizes and clear markings.
Any one of us could walk up to a Micro and program a basic patch in
less than 60 seconds.

I really feel like I'm whistling in the dark here when I see the
latest modules with switches that allow the choice between "V"
and "R" or "L" and "E".

In the end, I guess it's a struggle between an instrument designed
for performance and one designed for the laboratory.

As always, apologies if I've offended anyone,
Roger
